Town Without Pity Lyrics

Eddi Reader Town Without Pity

When you’re young and so in love and free
And bewildered by the world you see
Why do people hurt you so
Only those in love would know
What a town without pity can do

When we stop to gaze upon a star
People talk about how mad we are
Ours is such an evil age
We’re like flowers in a cage
What a town without pity can do

Yeah, we have problems, many problems
We need an understanding heart
Why don’t they help us, try to help us
Before this grey and granite planet falls apart

Take these eager lips and hold me fast
I’m afraid this kind of joy can’t last
How can we keep love alive
How can anything survive
When these little minds tear you in two
What a town without pity can do

Instrumental section

How we can we keep love alive
How can anything survive
When these little minds tear you in two
What a town without pity can do

No it isn’t very pretty
What a town without pity...pause can do
