lyrics

Poor Little Rich Town

All eyes are focused on the one with the famous face
Flanked by bodyguards, scrapping for a parking place
In the early days she was a major player
Now she makes a living as a headline maker
Poor little rich girl plays it for the cameras well

We'll get it fixed but we'll never ever get it solved
We'll call you right back from the other side of the world
You'll get slapped back down if your tail don't wag
For a ten pound shit, in a one pound bag
In poor little rich town no-one ever says a thing

The lights are dimming down as the conversation dips
You can almost feel the pleasure at your fingertips
Till words of weariness escape the censors' lips
And smother the old town (don't smother the old town)
And smother the new town (don't smother the new town)
And covers the uptown (don't cover the uptown)
And smothers the downtown (don't smother the downtown)

He takes another pill but it doesn't do any good
He wishes that his new head doctor understood
That the pains and the aches are a permanent fixture
Of living on the edge of a faded picture
Poor little rich town, when did your good times end?
When did the good times end?
