about

All the young of Smugville are forced to spend their pocket money on bullets and guns. This is so they are well equipped to shoot those strangers who pop into the local pub!

lyrics

Behind the door of the house on the street of the town, there’s a girl I think I used to know.
In her room, in her house on the street of her town, packs her bags and knows it’s time to go
Far away from her house on the street of her town where an education waits for her
But she’s lost from the house on the street of her town and she’s not a clue what might occur

CHORUS
And she dreams, cause her dreams cost nothing to redeem till she takes all her dreams apart.
And she knows, yes she knows that the future always glows till her future’s about to start

By a place in a book on a bus on a street there’s a boy I’ve heard could have it all
But the book that he reads on the bus on the street won’t prove any use to him at all
And the dreams from the book on the bus on the street mean a vague chance might be there for him
Till he dreams of the book on the bus on street but he knows his future will be grim

CHORUS

Fortune favours the weak so they say but it pays to have the face
Advantage doesn’t bring any rewards and I can’t save your place

There’s a mind in a brain in a head in a world and a man who prays to God instead
In his mind in his brain in his head in his world he knows the line is always dead
But his mind in his brain in his head in his world forever hope that some day soon
His thoughts in his mind in his brain in his world will someday sing a different tune

CHORUS

Behind the door of house on the street of the town, there’s a girl who knows she don’t belong
In her room in her house on the street of her town where she knows she’s found another song
Far away from the house on the street of her town where her parents smile and think the best
But she’s lost from the house on the street of the town and her thoughts of them make her depressed

CHORUS x 2

And she dreams, cause her dreams cost nothing to redeem
