Paperback Town lyrics translation: LEO SAYER Paperback Town song texte and letras LEO SAYER Paperback Town tab, paroles and testo LEO SAYER Paperback Town Karaoke and Music Video - none yet
imagine the space as it used to be
there were fields of corn
there were big oak trees
but a woman in a suit bulldozed it clear
built a concrete world full of crocodile tears
and we don`t understand
that we all have a part in a government plan
it`s a hard shot
to be the people in the place that the world forgot
in a paperback town
but I know I know I know we can be free
though no guardian angel up above
has kept an eye on me
and at night I listen to the sirens moan
for a broken heart from a broken home
so many people are so alone
in a paperback town
and one day soon I`m gonna write it all down
I live my life in a paperback town
oooh--in a paperback town
oooh--in a paperback town
I`m gonna take my troubles
gonna pack my bags
gonna fly my kite for a different flag
I`ll sing my song
From the top of the hill
when the night is cold
and the wind is chill
`cos I don`t understand
why I should be part of another man`s plan
it`s a hard shot
for the people in the place
that the world forgot
in a paperback town
live and die here
in a paperback town
wonder why here
in a paperback town
but I know I know I know we can be free |
though no guardian angel up above
has kept an eye on me
and at night I listen to the rain fall down
and I shake with the fear that we all will drown
but my words don`t even make a sound
in a paperback town
and one day soon I`m gonna write it all down
I live my life in a paperback town
