Nicer Part Of Town Songtext
Sitting on the step with a cup of tea
Seagulls wailing above the sea
We are one and we are three
Well, how strange it is this life

Lemons on the old wallpaper
Scraping old blood off the radiator
If I don’t see you soon
I’ll see you later
Or I won’t see you at all

Rattling around on this old spaceship
Stars so far that my heart is split
Between wonder and fear there’s not much in it
Well, how strange it is this life
Well, how strange it is
Well, how strange

Oh, Ma I see it
Oh, Ma I see it
Oh, Ma I see it all
And I see nothing
And I see nothing
And I see nothing

Sleeping in a tent at the underpass
Near the Salvation Army where the blue lights flash
Beech tree
Sycamore oak
And ash
In the nicer part of town

Blowing out the candles on your birthday cake
There’s a bomb in the Peugeot by the courthouse gate
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
And we all fall down

Laura saw a black bird
Connor saw a bear
Dean saw a garden in the garden wear
Adam and Eve have no underwear
Oh, we all just want a little bite

Well, how strange it is this life
Well, how strange

Oh, Ma I see it
Oh, Ma I see it
Mmmmm
Oh, Ma I see it all
And I see nothing
And I see nothing
And I see nothing
