Lyrics
English Towns
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There is no love inside of me
I gave it to a thousand girls
We build towers of saddened ivory
In our English towns
The dogs they try to possess us
I can hear their anguished cries
They build towers of ivory
In our English towns
I can see their astonished eyes
Look the same in any size
And their secrets are all the same
Seeking pleasure seeking fame
No love in a thousand girls
No love in a thousand girls
