Lonely Town
Ian Dury

your eyes are focused on a screen of your own choosing

your mind is busy with distractions of it's own

my imminent departure is the flavour of the evening

you lent me a welcome; i paid interest on the loan

your downward glance - a punishment for errant little foibles

the things that make us human are unpleasant to your taste

each drooping lash has cut me with barbed insinuations

i plundered all my savings in hopes that you're displaces

so fond farewell from corny clown

i'm going back to lonely town

were people weep and others frown

empty lives can tumble down

in lonely town

lonely town

lonely town

a broken shadow of a man that you ignore before you

once drove the streets of London like leaopard on the prowl

the virus that destroyed the youth, the fool who would adore you

will take me where the air is grey, the atmosphere is foul

so best of luck and all the rest

i'm going back to lonley town

where good is bad, worse is best

empty lives can tumble down

in lonely town

lonely town

so fond farewell from corny clown

i'm going back to lonely town

were people weep and others frown

empty lives can tumble down
