lyrics

I'm going to drown my sorrows there's little for me here
Just a place where I was born that holds nothing for me dear
Memories they don't lie they paint a picture clear
And damn this town this town with no cheer.

An faith is just for chancers I've been on that road
And a skin full of mothers ruin let these stories unfold
They bend and they twist then scatter on the wind
And at night when your sleeping they pretend to be your friend
Damm this darkness and damm this fear
Damn this town this town with no cheer.

White smoke it bellowed from every chimney stack
This place is cruel it don't cut you no slack
The door steps shine like blood red mirrors and
Jesus if they could talk they'd spit out all the secrets
That where never meant to breathe or crawl
Curse this town and dry your tears
Damn this town this town with no cheer.

I hear the ghost of banjo Harry picking out some lonesome tune
When we where young we'd shoot for the moon
Now nothing here is sacred and there's little or no regard
For all the workers past and the old ship yard
And there's no friends left to shed a tear
Damn this town this town with no cheer..



When the tide goes out here when it rolls out low
You see the remains of a ship who's name nobody knows
There's nothing left to show her former majesty
No polished chrome no finery
And there's no one here to shed a tear
Damn this town this town with no cheer.
