OMD “Big Town” Song Lyric

I discovered a big town
On the crest of a wave
Throwing money at strangers
Taking candy from babes

Shaking hands in a big top as the rain came down
I though it would not stop
Sending letters to Paris from the Empire State
Taking pictures from the top

There's a lot of things for you to do
There's a lot of dreams that won't come true

I grew up in a big town
The lessons were not hard to learn
If you want them to love you
Then you must not love them in return

Spent the night at a party where I drank so much
I fell under your spell
Eight o'clock in the morning and the daylight makes me
Look and feel like Hell

There's a lot of things for you to do
There's a lot of dreams that won't come true

There's a lot of things for you to do
There's a lot of dreams that won't come true

When you live in a big town there are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town there are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town there are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town there are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
