Carl Eaton - The Town Lyrics

Got a little money but I hope to spend some more
Dragging my poor Mother into every music store
Getting inspiration from the posters on the walls
Sifting through the vinyl masses in the record stalls

We were far from wealthy but I never seemed to come home empty handed
It didn't take a lot to coax me into spending money in the town

Window shopping, waiting with my face against the glass
Feel a little awkward when I see kids from my class
As soon as I had something, I would end up getting bored
I always wanted much more than we ever could afford

We were far from wealthy but I never seemed to come home empty handed
It didn't take a lot to coax me into spending money in the town
I loved to take in every sight, from market traders to the very fashions
Frankie says and Neon skirts and studded goths in black were all around

Thank you Marc and Dave and Gary, Boy and Robert too
Michael, Kate and all the rest, this song goes out to you

Pop into the café where I open up the bag
Holding it so preciously and peeling off the tag
Scrutinising photos, reading lyrics one by one
Cannot wait to get on home and put the needle on

We were far from wealthy but I never seemed to come home empty handed
It didn't take a lot to coax me into spending money in the town
I loved to take in every sight, from market traders to the very fashions
Frankie says and Neon skirts and studded goths in black were all around"
