Everything But the Girl
Lyrics for Song: Anytown
Lyrics for Album: Works [2007]
Over dale and over hills
I'll take you through the cotton mills
To the ginnels where we played
And where are friendships all were made
Still they came and tore them down
And now we live in Anytown
They came and tore it down
And now this place could be Anytown
Can't forget and won't forgive
The places we've been forced to live
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But rather that than live alone
For they came and tore it down
And now we live in Anytown
They came and tore it down
And now this place could be Anytown
Rags to riches, that's a lie
For some things money just can't buy
Thicker than water blood may be
And comfort still brings misery
For they came and tore it down
And now we live in Anytown
They came and tore it down
And now this place could be Anytown
They took the heart when they ripped it down
And in its place sent Anytown
Summer in the driving rain
I can hear the Oldham train.
