The Town I Loved So Well - Dexys[00:00:00]

Written by：Phil Couter[00:00:01]

In my memories I will always see[00:00:16]

The town that I have loved so well[00:00:26]

Where our school played ball by the old gas yard wall[00:00:35]

And we laughed through the smoke and the smell[00:00:43]

Going home in the rain running up the dark lane[00:00:52]

Past the jail and down behind the fountain[00:01:01]

Those were happy days in so many ways[00:01:09]

In the town I loved so well[00:01:18]

There was music there in that derry air[00:01:27]

Like a language that we we all could understand[00:01:36]

I was pride on the day that I earned my first pay[00:01:45]

When I played in a small pick up band[00:01:54]

There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth[00:02:02]

I was sad to leave it all behind me[00:02:11]

For I learned about life and I found a wife[00:02:20]

In the town I loved so well[00:02:29]

But when I returned how my eyes were burned[00:02:55]

To see how a town could be brought to it's knees[00:03:04]

By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars[00:03:13]

And the gas that hangs on to every breeze[00:03:21]

Now the army's installed by that old gas yard wall[00:03:30]

And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher[00:03:39]

With their tanks and guns oh god what have they done[00:03:48]

To the town I loved so well[00:03:57]

Now the music's gone but they carry on[00:04:23]

For their spirit's been bruised never broken[00:04:32]

They will not forget but their hearts are set[00:04:41]

On tomorrow and peace once again[00:04:50]

For what's done is done and what's won is won[00:04:59]

And what's lost is lost and gone forever[00:05:07]

I can only pray for a bright brand new day[00:05:16]

In the town I loved so well[00:05:25]

I can only pray for a bright brand new day[00:05:33]

In the town I loved so well[00:05:43]
