TOWN WITH NO CHEER

TOM WAITS

Paroles et musique :Thomas Alan Waits

Capo III

Tonalité :

Well it's hotter 'n blazes and all the long faces

There'll be n o oasis for a dry local g razier

There'll be no refresh ment for a th irsty jackar oo

From M elbourne to Adelaide on the overlander

With newfangled buffet cars and fa ster locomoti ves

The train stopped in Serviceton le ss and less of ten

There's n othing sadder than a town with no ch eer

Vic rail decided the canteen wa s no longer ne cessary there

No s pirits no bilgewater and 80 dry loc als

And the high noon sun beats a hu ndred and fo ur

There's a hummingbird trapped in a closed down sh oe store

This tiny vic torian rhuba rb

Kept the watering hole open for si xty five ye ars

Now it's b oilin' in a miserable March 21st

Wrapped the hills in a blanket of Pa tterson's cu rse

The t rain smokes down the x ylophone

There'll be no stopping h ere

All y a can be is thirsty in a town with no c heer

No B ourbon no Branchwater though the townspeople h ere

Fought the vic rail de cree tooth and na il

Now it's b oilin' in a miserable March 21st

Wrapped the hills in a blanket of Pa tterson's cu rse

The t rain smokes down the x ylophone

There'll be no stopping h ere

All y a can be is thirsty in a town with no c heer
