lyrics
This is such a pretty town when the snow is falling
We queue up for our loaves and pies
We never find it boring
And the independent record shop is rolling in gold pieces
They’re queueing round the corner for
The more obscure releases
While we moan like owt then a good shop shuts
We’d take the blame if we had the guts
While we moan like owt then a good shop shuts
We’d take the blame if we had the guts
For the money we never spent
The times we never went
No one would admit that the superstore was easy
There was everything under one roof
So pleasing when its freezing
And now they’re selling records
Though most of them are shite
Lowest common denominator
Fills the shelves just right
While we moan like owt then this good shop shuts
Well take the blame
No you don’t have the guts
While we moan like owt then a good shop shuts
We’d take the blame if we had the guts
For the money we never spent
The times we never went
Now this is such a quiet town
Cars just drive straight through
Passed the historic market hall
The war memorial too
And there’s dignitaries on the local news
and they’re talking up some plans to regenerate
Regenerate
Regenerate
Regenerate
We queue up for our loaves and pies
We never find it boring
And the independent record shop is rolling in gold pieces
They’re queueing round the corner for
The more obscure releases
While we moan like owt then a good shop shuts
We’d take the blame if we had the guts
While we moan like owt then a good shop shuts
We’d take the blame if we had the guts
For the money we never spent
The times we never went
No one would admit that the superstore was easy
There was everything under one roof
So pleasing when its freezing
And now they’re selling records
Though most of them are shite
Lowest common denominator
Fills the shelves just right
While we moan like owt then this good shop shuts
Well take the blame
No you don’t have the guts
While we moan like owt then a good shop shuts
We’d take the blame if we had the guts
For the money we never spent
The times we never went
Now this is such a quiet town
Cars just drive straight through
Passed the historic market hall
The war memorial too
And there’s dignitaries on the local news
and they’re talking up some plans to regenerate
