[Verse 1: Bobby Gillespie]
Tired feet trod rubbished streets
Dreams pile up on garbage heaps
Chain-smoked faces scream defeat
Poverty's grammar
Poundland's shut, bombed-out pubs
Feral kids on zombie drugs
Holidays in Wormwood Scrubs
[Chorus: Bobby Gillespie & Jehnny Beth]
I want to fly away from this town tonight
So high, so high
I don't wanna die in this English town tonight
Cold English town
[Verse 2: Bobby Gillespie]
Zero hours sufferers
Stale depression haunts the bus
"Immigrants, they're not like us"
I heard someone say
Pushing hard against the crowd
Rush hour faces bring me down
Hieronymus Bosch underground
Prole horror surreal
[Chorus: Bobby Gillespie & Jehnny Beth]
I want to fly away from this town tonight
So high, so high
I don't want to die in this English town tonight
Cold English town
[Post-Chorus: Bobby Gillespie]
La-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la
[Bridge: Bobby Gillespie]
Death on credit every day
Walking dead on a living wagе
Accept your lot and don't complain
Drink yourself into an early gravе
[Chorus: Bobby Gillespie & Jehnny Beth]
I wanna fly away from this town tonight
So high, so high
Don't wanna die in this English town tonight
Cold English town
I wanna fly away from this town tonight
So high, so high
Don't wanna die in this English town tonight
Cold English town
Tired feet trod rubbished streets
Dreams pile up on garbage heaps
Chain-smoked faces scream defeat
Poverty's grammar
Poundland's shut, bombed-out pubs
Feral kids on zombie drugs
Holidays in Wormwood Scrubs
[Chorus: Bobby Gillespie & Jehnny Beth]
I want to fly away from this town tonight
So high, so high
I don't wanna die in this English town tonight
Cold English town
[Verse 2: Bobby Gillespie]
Zero hours sufferers
Stale depression haunts the bus
"Immigrants, they're not like us"

I want to fly away from this town tonight
So high, so high
I don't want to die in this English town tonight
Cold English town
[Post-Chorus: Bobby Gillespie]

La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
