Lyrics
Ghostly intro
(Spoken)
This town, is coming like a ghost town
All the clubs have been closed down
This place, is coming like a ghost town
Bands won’t play no more (brass)
Too much fighting on the dance floor
Aaaaah (wailing bandshees…twice!)
Ghostly keyboards
Middle 8 (major jey)
Do you remember the good old days before the ghost town?
We danced and sang, and the music played in a de boomtown
Instrumental: flute, brass and moog
(spoken) This town, is coming like a ghost town
(rapped) Why must the youth fight against themselves?
Government leaving the youth on the shelf
This place, is coming like a ghost town
No job to be found in this country
Can’t go on no more
(spoken) The people getting angry
Aaaaah (wailing bandshees…twice!)
This town, is coming like a ghost town (find your own harmonies!)
This town, is coming like a ghost town
This town, is coming like a ghost town
This town, is coming like a ghost town
- Picture in a frame
- A rose is a rose
- Paper moon
- One day like this
All lyrics will be posted in their own special post by Monday: please check back here on the blog
If you already have print outs just arrange them IN ADVANCE in your BV folder
