Eddi Reader - Town Without Pity lyrics

When you're young and so in love as we And bewildered by the world we see Why do people hurt us so Only those in love would know What a town without pity can do If we stop to gaze upon a star People talk about how bad we are Ours is not an easy age We're like tigers in a cage What a town without pity can do Well we, have problems, many problems We need an understanding heart Why don't they help us, try to help us Before this clay and granite planet falls apart Take these eager lips and hold me fast I'm afraid this kind of joy can't last How can we keep love alive How can anything survive When these little minds tear you in two What a town without pity can do Instrumental section How can we keep love alive How can anything survive When these little minds tear you in two What a town without pity can do No it isn't very pretty what a town without pity...pause ...can do---
