New Town
Bryan Ferry
1987
New town, there’s a place, a mad affair
In a new world, heaven sent
A life that’s made for us
Out of luck, out of touch, out of love
No concrete jungle, no dancing feet
No cul-de-sac of desire
Is in itself destroying me
I’ve got to live it down
Don’t want to dwell in history
That’s why I’m leaving now
New town, there’s a place, to do or die
In a new world, heaven sent
A life that’s made for us
Out of luck, out of touch, out of love
No laughing boys, forbidden dreams
No willow weep for me now
The shadow’s hanging over me
I’ve got to tear it down
New town, calling me
