Gelsons Dad said:is it worth it
a new winter coat and shoes for the wife
and a bicycle on the boy's birthday
it's just a rumour that was spread around town
by the women and children
soon we'll be shipbuilding
well i ask you
the boy said 'dad they're going to take me to task
but i'll be back by christmas'
it's just a rumour that was spread around town
somebody said that someone got filled in
for saying that people get killed in
the result of this shipbuilding
with all the will in the world
diving for dear life
when we could be diving for pearls
it's just a rumour that was spread around town
a telegram or a picture postcard
within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
and notifying the next of kin
once again
it's all we're skilled in
we will be shipbuilding
with all the will in the world
diving for dear life
when we could be diving for pearls

quit runnin for the runaway bus coz those rosey days are few, and,
stop apologisin, for the things you've never done,
coz time is short and life is cruel but its up to us to change this town called malice...
rows and rows of disused milkfloats stand dyin' in the dairy yard,
and a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milkbottles to their hearts,
hangin' out their old love letters, on the line to dry,
its enough to make you stop believin' when tears come fast n furiuos in a own called malice...
ooh yeah.
ba ba ba ba badaba, ba ba badaba ooh....x2
struggle after atruggle, year after year,
the atmospheres a fine blend of ice an' im almost stone cold dead, in a town called malice..ooh yeah.
a whole streets belief, in sundays roast beef, gets dashed, against, the co op,
to either cut down on beer or the kids new gear,
its a big decision in a town called malice!...ooh yeah.
the ghost of a steam train, echos down my track,
its at the moment bound for nowhere, just goin' round an' round oh,
playground kids an' creakin' swings,
lost laughter in the breeze,
i could go on for hours an' i probably will,
but id sooner put some joy back in,
this town called malice!...
TOWN CALLED MALICE, 1982.
