I Love This Town Paroles

I love this town... where curtains twitch
Where this door scratches... next door's itch
It's a pantomime... at fever pitch
And we can all be in it

People here are large as life
They know the whole world and his wife
From a razor's edge to a kitchen knife
They'll be glad to help you

I love this town... of hidden charms
Where no one means... you any harm
And if you sleep... through false alarms
No one here would blame you

I love this town... on the beaten track
Where nothing slips... between the cracks
Her rent's arrears... his heart attack
Now isn't that a shame, ooh! You won't have to worry

The town hall clock is calling out
It's rush hour on the roundabout
Now I know without a doubt
It's the place for me...

I love this town... the dirty streets
It's a merry-go-round... with broken seats
Where silk and lace... and satin sheets
Are only dirty washing

I love this town... down on its knees
It's going under... by degrees
Still we can do... just as we please
As long as no one's watching

I love this town... I love this town...
I love this town... I love this town...
