Paisley Pattern

Kids I knew in school
Attempt murder and robbery
But this is Paisley and it’s ordinary
All they needed was a guiding hand
To stop them running into no man’s land
This town is awful grey
It’s not somewhere the rich would stay
But it’s home to the best I know
They say this is the place where dreams go to die
Men fighting in the streets for their pride
While your wife’s at home with another guy
If you don’t laugh then you’ll probably cry
The weekend crowds gather around Hopeless Street
Misbehaving to no one’s amazement
It’s where the cavemen congregate
Find yourself in Mill Street
Then it’s court day on Monday
Save it for the judge
They say this is the place where dreams go to die
Men fighting in the streets for their pride
And while your wife’s at home with another guy
If you don’t laugh then you’ll probably cry
It could be someone you love
It could be someone you hate
How would you feel
If they sucker punched your mate?
It could be someone you love
It could be someone you hate
They say this is the place where dreams go to die
Men fighting in the streets for their pride
And while your wife’s at home with another guy
If they see you laugh, then you’ll probably die
