Letra da Música This Grey Old Town de The Blue Dawns

The future tense provokes a frown
the people seem to get you down
There's just something about this town
that feels so unappealing
Everyone's stuck in a rut
their optimism has turned to dust
They sit around until they rust
it makes you feel like screaming

The rule is that you must break all the rules
if you're to rule
And it would take a fool to take me for a fool
so more fool you
It's another day, another trip around the roundabout
You end up where you started
and it makes you want to shout

My tether is nearly at it's end
the broken bond is beyond mend
But still they all seem to pretend
that life is how they want it
The clouds don't seem to disappear
they've settled and they're staying here
Even they let out a tear
but no one is responding

The rule is that you must break all the rules
if you're to rule
And it would take a fool to take me for a fool
so more fool you
It's another day, another trip around the roundabout
You end up where you started
and it makes you want to shout

So let me go, to somewhere new
Where the grass is green, and the sun is bright
and the sky is always blue
Monotonous, to say the least
But I won't let this grey old town
make a puppet out of me

So if you ever get the chance
To leave this blind broken lands
Grab the chance with both your hands
And close that door behind you
The sun at us there's no escape
And if it comes it comes too late
The gray old town will make you hate
The things you see around you

The rule is that you must break all the rules
if you're to rule
And it would take a fool
to take me for a fool so more fool you
It's another day, another trip around the roundabout
You end up where you started
and it makes you want to shout

So let me go, to somewhere new
Where the grass is green, and the sun is bright
and the sky is always blue
Monotonous, to say the least
But I won't let this grey old town
make a puppet out of me
