In This Town

In This Town

Looked out from the edge of nothing
           Felt insulated from the cold
           A sudden change upsets the bubble
           A cold blast, harsh and rasping

      Ch In this town, you walk away
           Cross the road, don,t need to stay
           In this town, you walk away
           Cross the road, you don,t need to stay

           Reality makes an unpleasent appearence
           Can you face it or make it go away
           Do you close the door and turn the key
           This is not the way it should be

     Ch  In this town you walk away
           Cross the road, don,t need to stay
           In this town you walk away
           Cross the road, just get away

           A cry for help from a dangerous place
           It is out there, do you go and see
           Do you face the reality
           Or could it bite a helping hand

     Ch  In this town you walk away
           Cross the road, don,t need to stay
           In this town you walk away
           Cross the road, just get away

Another SE belting good one! Agreed that the tele sounds superb. But your voice is key.

Beauty song!!

[Greeny]

Such a great listen. Can only echo the compliments on the vocal - superb. But the whole thing is beautifully done. Such a great, dramatic vibe running through this.

Thanks guys and gal for the comments, there a little story behind this one, it was about two weeks ago on the weekend, I was listening to music on here about half one in the morning, having a little drink of the Russian falling down juice.
When there,s a knock at the door, no one comes to my door at that time unless there,s something wrong, anyway I go to the door and there is this young guy extremely drunk on drink or drugs, I have no idea.He says he is lost with no money, no phone, no way of getting home and that someone is going to stab him.
What do you do? leave him, send him on his way, normally I would cross the road as the song says, but could I leave him to be hurt? I phoned a taxi paid the fare and sent him home. just could,nt have it on my conscience.
Have I been conned. could I have been stabbed, did I put my wife in danger. who knows.

bloody ally mccoist he wiz at ma door earlier.

great song john. and your conscience serves you well. sorry about the ally joke and me a bankies fan.

[Hook]

This is tight brother, great groove and nice drums, they drive the tune along! It's a shame that we have to wonder if helping someone is the right decision, seems like you did right!
Rock on!

Here,s the words Orh, think Ally might need a taxi sooner rather than later, but don,t think the teddy bears could pay the fare
