Lyrics to New Town

Lyrics to the song New Town as recorded by Bryan Ferry.

(Ferry)
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
Dancing feet
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 hanging over me
I've got to tear it down

(new town, calling me)
(new town, calling me)
(new town, calling me)
(new town, calling me)
(new town, calling me) Calling me, calling me
(new town, calling me) Calling me, calling me
(new town, calling me) Calling me, calling me
(new town, calling me) Calling me, calling me
(new town, calling me) Calling me, calling me
(new town, calling me) Calling me, calling me
(new town)
