Ghost Town

INTRO: verse 1 It was a Saturday morning bus to town For grandma, mother and me With a list of the shops we'd need to call at Before the cakes and tea There was the butcher, the baker, the bookshop too So many things for us to do Now with Oxfam and Heartbeat and Save The Children Who'll save the old town now? verse 2 The cinema stood on the railway's corner Courting couples would queue Now it's a big fat supermarket You have to drive out to They've got the meat and the veg, the fruit and the flowers They've killed the little shops with their hours And with Oxfam and Heartbeat and Save The Children Who'll save the old town now? Who'll save the old town? Now it's a ghost town N.C. Once it was my town, a warm as toast town But with charity shops and boarded windows It's not my old town now verse 3 Jimmy and Joe met John the poacher For beer at the old King's Head Now it's been closed down and the new off-licence Has Australian lager instead So the charm of the old town starts to pall As everyone goes to the shopping mall And with Oxfam and Heartbeat and Save The Children Who'll save the old town now? Who'll save the old town? Now it's a ghost town N.C. Once it was my town, a warm as toast town But with charity shops and boarded windows It's not my old town now verse 4 It was a Saturday morning bus to town For grandma, mother and me With a list of the shops we'd need to call at Before the cakes and tea There was the butcher, the baker, the bookshop too So many things for us to do Now with Oxfam and Heartbeat and Save The Children Who'll save the old town now With Oxfam and Heartbeat and Save The Children Who'll save the old town now
