Intro: verse 1: This is fine old place to live A little take, a little give The river flows, our life it goes on like before verse 2: A few more shops they’re closing down They say the High Street’s leaving town The Celtic Tiger’s lost his swagger and his roar Refrain: I know progress never stops And we can’t wind back the clock But I remember my old town, and it’s getting me down All their changes bring nothing but sorrow This new world I can face, but why must they replace My old town with their brand new tomorrow? verse 3: And now the Pound Shops are on the rise While Pay Day Lenders, they multiply And there’s a KFC where it used to be a bank verse 4: And at the station, in the rain The youth are queuing for a train We’re leaving home and wondering who to thank Yes, I remember my old town, and it’s getting me down All their changes bring nothing but sorrow This new world I can face, but why must they replace My old town with their brand new tomorrow? This new world I can face, but why must they replace My old town with their brand new tomorrow?
