[00:00:00] The Town I Loved So Well - Dexys

[00:00:01] Written by：Phil Couter

[00:00:16] In my memories I will always see

[00:00:26] The town that I have loved so well

[00:00:35] Where our school played ball by the old gas yard wall

[00:00:43] And we laughed through the smoke and the smell

[00:00:52] Going home in the rain running up the dark lane

[00:01:01] Past the jail and down behind the fountain

[00:01:09] Those were happy days in so many ways

[00:01:18] In the town I loved so well

[00:01:27] There was music there in that derry air

[00:01:36] Like a language that we we all could understand

[00:01:45] I was pride on the day that I earned my first pay

[00:01:54] When I played in a small pick up band

[00:02:02] There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth

[00:02:11] I was sad to leave it all behind me

[00:02:20] For I learned about life and I found a wife

[00:02:29] In the town I loved so well

[00:02:55] But when I returned how my eyes were burned

[00:03:04] To see how a town could be brought to it's knees

[00:03:13] By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars

[00:03:21] And the gas that hangs on to every breeze

[00:03:30] Now the army's installed by that old gas yard wall

[00:03:39] And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher

[00:03:48] With their tanks and guns oh god what have they done

[00:03:57] To the town I loved so well

[00:04:23] Now the music's gone but they carry on

[00:04:32] For their spirit's been bruised never broken

[00:04:41] They will not forget but their hearts are set

[00:04:50] On tomorrow and peace once again

[00:04:59] For what's done is done and what's won is won

[00:05:07] And what's lost is lost and gone forever

[00:05:16] I can only pray for a bright brand new day

[00:05:25] In the town I loved so well

[00:05:33] I can only pray for a bright brand new day

[00:05:43] In the town I loved so well
