Letra
0:15Well grey clouds wrapped round the town like elastic
0:19Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic
0:23The boy laughed and danced around in the rain
0:31While launderettes cleaned clothes high heels rubbed toes
0:35Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows
0:39Dressed in their suits and their boots
0:42Well they all look the same
0:47I took myself down to the cafe to find all the boys
0:52Lost in books and crackling vinyl
0:55And carved out a poem above the urinal that read
1:03Don't you cry for the lost
1:05Smile for the living
1:07Get what you need and give what you're given
1:11Life's for the living so live it
1:14Or you're better off dead
1:31While the evening pulled the moon out of it's packet
1:36Stars shone like buttons on an old man's jacket
1:40We needed a nail but we tacked it 'til it fell of the wall
1:47Yeah while pigeon's pecked drains sparks flew like planes
1:52The rain showed the rainbows in the oil stains
1:55And we all had new iPhones but no one had no one to call
2:04And I stumbled down to the stomach of the town
2:08Where the widow takes memories to slowly drown
2:12With a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said
2:20Don't you cry for the lost
2:22Smile for the living
2:24Get what you need and give what you're given
2:28Yeah life's for the living so live it
2:31Or you're better off dead
3:04Well I'm sick of this town this blind man's forage
3:09They take your dreams down and they stick them in storage
3:13You can have them back son
3:15When you've paid off your mortgage and loans
3:21Oh hell with this place I'll go it my own way
3:25I'll stick out my thumb and I trudge down the highway
3:29Someday someone must be going my way home
3:37Till then I'll make my bed from a disused car
3:41With a mattress of leaves and a blanket of stars
3:45And I'll stitch the words into my heart with a needle and thread
3:53Don't you cry for the lost
3:56Smile for the living
3:58Get what you need and give what you're given
4:02Yeah life's for the living so live it
4:05Or you're better off dead
4:09So don't cry for the lost
4:12Smile for the living
4:14Get what you need and give what you're given
4:18Life's for the living so live it
4:21Or you're better off dead
4:26Don't you cry for the lost
4:28Smile for the living
4:31Get what you need and give what you're given
4:36Life's for the living so live it
4:40Or you're better off dead
