Mr. Jones Skips Town | mp3

I'm leaving this town
The bars have all shut since the factory closed down
I'm leaving this dump
Been nothing to do since the eighties slump
I'm leaving this hole
It ain't got a heart and it ain't got a soul

And you wanna know why I don't stick around?
Well these are the reasons that I'm leaving this town...

-RANT-

You'll be seeing Mr. Jones on 'Top Of The Pops'
The rest of you losers can stay here and rot
I'll get me a new coat made of rattlesnake hide
And a sassy blonde and a fancy new ride
You'll see my face in the papers and on the TV
John, Paul, George and Ringo got nothing on me

And you wanna know why I don't stick around?
Well those are the reasons that I'm leaving this town...

words and music: James Closs
