About We'll Live and Die In These Towns

The title track of their debut album offers a bleak commentary on a British working class life characterized by trashy pubs, money worries, desperation, and a feeling of being trapped in the town in which you were born. The title of the track was inspired by a piece of graffiti written in the band room of the Kasbah Nightclub in the band’s own home town of Coventry. .

We'll Live and Die In These Towns Lyrics

[01:26.72] You spend your time in smoky rooms
[01:29.69] Where haggled old women with cheap perfume say
[01:33.13] "It never happens for people like us, you know"
[01:35.85] Well, nothing ever happened on its own
[01:38.64] And well, the toilets smells of desperation
[01:42.38] The streets all echo of aggravation
[01:45.13] And you wonder why you can't get no sleep
[01:48.42] When you got nothing to do, and you had nothing to eat
[01:51.54] Your life's slipping and sliding right out of view
[01:54.60] And there's absolutely nothing that you can do, well
[01:59.58] We'll live and die, we'll live and die in these towns
[02:05.87] Don't let it drag you down, don't let it drag you down now
[02:12.32] We'll live and die, we'll live and die in these towns
[02:18.83] Don't let it drag you down, don't let it drag you down now
[02:24.52] Dirty dishes from a TV meal
[02:26.81] That went cold from the wind through a smashed up window
[02:30.99] You can't go out if anybody calls you
[02:33.21] 'Cause you can't have a bath when there's no hot water
[02:36.33] And your friends are out on the town again
[02:39.17] And you ask yourself if it will ever end
[02:42.75] And it's all too much for your head to take
[02:45.82] Just a matter of time before you break, well
[02:50.62] We'll live and die, we'll live and die in these towns
[02:57.18] Don't let it drag you down, don't let it drag you down now
[03:03.39] We'll live and die, we'll live and die in these towns
[03:09.90] Don't let it drag you down, don't let it drag you down now
[03:14.63] Oh, now
[03:21.07] Oh, now
[03:29.06] We'll live and die, we'll live and die in these towns
[03:35.09] Don't let it drag you down, don't let it drag you down now
[03:41.72] We'll live and die, we'll live and die in these towns
[03:48.18] Don't let it drag you down, don't let it drag you down now
[03:52.68]
