Town Without Pity by David Vanian And The Phantom Chords Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 could 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

[Chorus]
The young 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!
[Verse 2]
Take these eager lips and hold me tonight
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?
Yeah, what a town without pity can do

[Outro]
How can we keep love alive?
How can anything survive
When those little minds tear you in two?
Yeah, what a town without pity can do
Oh, it isn't very pretty
What a town without pity can do
