New Town

Bryan Ferry · BĂȘte Noire [1987]

New town

There's a place

A mad affair

In a new world



Heaven send

A life that's made for us

Out of luck

Out of touch

Out of love



No concrete jungle

Dancing feet

Cul-de-sac of desire

Is in itself



Destroying me

I've got to live down

Don't want to dwell in history

That's why I'm leaving now



New town

There's a place

To do or die

In a new world



Heaven sent

A life that's made for us

Out of luck

out of touch

Out of love



No laughing boys

Forbidden dreams

No willow weep

For me now



The shadow hanging over me

I've got to tear it down

New town calling me
