Boomtown Lyrics

Boom town nobody smiles there

Closing down signs up everywhere

There's a florist on the corner

That's seen better days

With no passing trade, the only money made

Lays wilting on churchyard graves

In boomtown

Boom town nobody smiles there

Train station it closed down

Nobody went there anyway

There's a builders in the high street

His sons have both moved away

Forty years of blood sweat and tears

Lies buried like the footings he's laid

In boomtown

There's no guilt and there is no shame

No one to take the blame

For the bypass and the cut price superstore

Seduced by corporate charms

Dodgy handshakes and greasy palms

That's why the florist and the builder are no

more

in boomtown

You can't stop progress or Elon Musk

The rise of the robots, A.I's your new boss

Last one out switch the light off (and close the door)

Last one out switch the light off (and close the door)

Last one out switch the light off (and close the door)
