A Town Called Ramsgate (After Town called Malice by The Jam)

tuesday night at churchills
the old men have a jam
they can't manage quite so much these days
so they play just what they can

the crowd are there to sink a few
and forget their daily grind
they soon forget and pretty soon
they'll completely lose their mind

in a town called ramsgate
ye-a-sh
town called ramsgate
ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

when shopping in that waitrose
you always see a face
you stand and talk about whose life
is becoming a disgrace

you tut a bit and snigger at
how publicly they've failed
thank goodness that the both of us
have life so firmly nailed

in a town called ramsgate
yeah eah eah.

i look around and wonder
just what brought us all down here
there's no rhyme or reason
for these lives to so adhere

could it be the sun and sea
that english channel smell
i don't know i'm just really glad
i'm not a dfl

in a town called ramsgate
yeah yeah yeah.
