I've decided, this is no place to hang around

Can't get excited, I don't like living in this town

Don't wanna stay here, with all the dead

Everybody's so boring, its late and they're in bed



And everybody I know has been dead in the head for years

They can't laugh or swear, can't even cry no tears

Don't wanna stay here with all the dead

Everybody's so boring, nothing in their heads



And all the old men go down the pub

And all the young men smoke dope and listen to dub

And it's a London office job or a Richmond factory

You know they're gonna get you boy, but they'll never ever ever get me

'Cause I can't stand it and I ain't gonna hang around

If I had a chance I'd burn this shithole to the ground

Don't wanna stay here with all the dead

Everybody's so boring, nothing in their heads



And we're living and dying and I don't know why

It's just that they're senseless, underneath the English sky

I'm gonna go to the smoke and leave it all behind

I'm gonna get away from here before I lose my mind



We're living in a ghostown

We're living in a ghostown

We're living in a ghostown

We're living in a ghostown



We're living in a ghostown

We're living in a ghostown

We're living in a ghostown

We're living in a ghostown
