Well done on the video - I've always thought of London whenever I have listened to this. So typically McCluskey with the vocal choral effect chords, it sounds great on headphones. I can listen to this track over and over. One of the best from Sugar Tax.
I discovered a big town On the crest of a wave Throwing money at strangers Taking candy from babes Shaking hands in a big top As the rain came down I though it would not stop Sending letters to Paris From the Empire state Taking pictures from the top There's alot of things For you to do There's alot of dreams That won't come true I grew up in a big town The lessons were not hard to learn If you want them to love you Then you must not love them in return Spent the night at a party Where I drank so much I fell under your spell Eight o'clock in the morning And the daylight makes me Look and feel like hell There's alot of things For you to do There's alot of dreams That won't come true There's alot of things For you to do There's alot of dreams That won't come true When you live in a big town There are sights and sounds That make you want to cry When you live in a big town There are sights and sounds That make you want to cry When you live in a big town There are sights and sounds That make you want to cry When you live in a big town There are sights and sounds That make you want to cry
Saw one of the incarnations (well not the original one anyway) of OMD at the Milton Keynes Bowl in 1991. They played the Sugar Tax songs but the sound went off and they had to leave the stage for a while. There were also idiots throwing beer glasses full of piss in the air - charmed I'm sure!
ex got me this as we divorced , remember playing the whole album and celebrating....knowing i was single and she was gone...great album well remembered and still played by me !!
Sugar Tax is one of my favourite albums ever...Had it on cassette in '91, I was eleven years old...class taste in music even back then as a kid
The 'sugar tax' album is full of very good songs. An Essential Listen. Buy it now!
Big town from the sugar tax album,what a classic song this is.

Sugar Tax is one of my favorite albums of all time and for me, OMD’s best
Sugar Tax the best album OMD
I discovered a big town
On the crest of a wave
Throwing money at strangers
Taking candy from babes
Shaking hands in a big top
As the rain came down
I though it would not stop
Sending letters to Paris
From the Empire state
Taking pictures from the top
There's alot of things
For you to do
There's alot of dreams
That won't come true
I grew up in a big town
The lessons were not hard to learn
If you want them to love you
Then you must not love them in return
Spent the night at a party
Where I drank so much
I fell under your spell
Eight o'clock in the morning
And the daylight makes me
Look and feel like hell
There's alot of things
For you to do
There's alot of dreams
That won't come true
There's alot of things
For you to do
There's alot of dreams
That won't come true
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
