"Sudden Town" lyrics - THE SOFT BOYS
Yeah, it's just a sudden town
Yeah, it's just a sudden town right now
The arches that stretch from the railway station
Lead to the terminus
Yeah it's just a sudden town
Rails shine back from perspective distance
Oolalalalalala
Yeah it's just a sudden town
Poles that could only be used for overhead wiring
Stand with the wires all gone
Moonlight she crackles on looming orbs all
Peppered with rusty rivets
Yeah it's just a sudden town
Chimneys are lit by a fading sun
That tapers away on a cold horizon
Yeah it's just a sudden town
Heaven will pelt you with energy
While you cripple yourself with a moment's heartbreak
Yeah it's just a sudden town
Stand in a shop on the Archway Road
And someone will kiss you as you stand guard
Yeah it's just a sudden town
Alright
Cottages full of eternal men all
Seeking a dream in the old erection
Yeah it's just a sudden town
Pick up your bag from the restaurant
And shuffle away to a lonely keyhole
Yeah it's just a sudden town
Weaving up and down, your light beside you
Nobody talks to you anyway
Nobody knows how you even got here
And the ghouls will come
Aw yeah, the ghouls will come
Singin' shalalalalalala
Shalalalalalalalalala
Shalalalalalala
Shalalalalalalalalala
Yeah, it's just a sudden town
