Town Cryer

Im the town crier
And everybody knows
Im a little down
With a lifetime to go Maybe you dont believe my heart is in the right place
Why dont you take a good look at my face
Other boys use the splendour of their trembling lip
Theyre so teddy bear tender and tragically hip
Im never going to cry again
Im going to be as strong as them
They say theyd die for love
And then they live it out
Theyll give you something to cry about
And suddenly you really fall to pieces
Im the town crier
And everybody knows
Im a little down
With a lifetime to go Maybe you dont believe my heart is in the right place
Why dont you take a good look at my face
Other boys use the splendour of their trembling lip
Theyre so teddy bear tender and tragically hip
Love and unhappiness go arm in arm
Long suffering friends of your fatal charm
Isnt it a pity that youre going to get hurt
Just a little boy lost in a big mans shirt
