      This is one of the first songs i recall from childhood. It was a Noel Gallagher interview that made me look up the lyrics.
      Extraordinary.

    Magic. Takes me back to my college days in Shipley. I can literally taste and smell the fish and chips we had at dinner time and taste the beer the we had in the pub listening to this on the juke box. Then we'd go to Ray Smiths Musical Supplies across the road and I'd try to play a bit of Jam on one of the very old guitars he had hanging on the wall. Not very well I might add. I have the same Marshall amp Paul loves and had reissued with the mod logo on it. Great post. Weller I gotta go now.

  • @SpindlyScoudrel
    @SpindlyScoudrel 2 місяці тому

    Better stop dreaming of the quiet life
    'Cause it's the one we'll never know
    And quit running for that runaway bus
    'Cause those rosy days are few
    And stop apologizing for the things you've never done
    'Cause time is short and life is cruel but it's up to us to change
    This town called Malice
    Rows and rows of disused milk floats
    Stand dying in the dairy yard
    And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk
    Bottles to their hearts
    Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
    It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come fast and furious
    In a town called Malice, yeah
    Struggle after struggle, year after year
    The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice I'm almost stone cold dead
    In a town called Malice, ooh yeah
    A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef
    Gets dashed against the Co-op
    To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear
    It's a big decision in a town called Malice, ooh yeah
    The ghost of a steam train echoes down my track
    It's at the moment bound for nowhere just going round and round
    Playground kids and creaking swings
    Lost laughter in the breeze
    Could go on for hours and I probably will
    But I'd sooner put some joy back in this town called Malice, yeah ooh
    In this town called Malice, yeah
    In this town called Malice, ooh yeah
