The same people hang around all the same places With the same old expression on all the same faces And that trainer still swings from the light Down the road where the drunk people fight In the town where they dream the same dreams every night. And the same drinks they go down the throats of the same men As they laugh about things they've been over again and again The repetition plays tricks on your brain When your daily routine stays the same In the town where they dream the same dreams every night And I need you around To stop me going in circles And I want you around To brighten up this town They don't change their clothes and they won't change their ways 'Coz there's something quite safe about wasting your days away And there's no need to leave your settee When you live your whole life through TV In the town where they dream the same dreams happily And I need you around To stop me going in circles And I want you around To brighten up this... I need you around To stop me running in circles And I want you around To brighten up this town It brings me down Oh this town It brings me down
