.... 1. I'm not one to look behind, I know that times, must change, .... But over there in Barry Town they do things very strange. And though you're not my enemy, I like things like they used to be; And though you'd like some company, I'm standing by myself, Go and play with someone else. Chorus I can see by what you carry that you came from Barry Town. 2. Don't believe I'm taken in by stories I have heard; I just read the Daily News and swear by every word. And don't think that I'm out of line for speaking for what is mine; I like to see you just fine, but looking at what you wear And the way you cut you hair. Chorus Interlude In the beginning we recall the word was hurled; Barry Town people got to be from another world. 3. Leave me or I'll be just like the others that you meet; They won't act as kindly if they see you on the street. And don't you scream or make a shout; it's nothing you can do about; It was there where you came out, it's a special lack of grace, I can see it on your face. Chorus & repeat 3 x
