Hurtsville - Jack Ladder & the Dreamlanders

I know that you don’t love me

But won’t you take me for the night

Press me to your chest, sate my appetite

I left my home this morning at the bottom of a well

In Hurtsville

She said «Come with me boy, please don’t be afraid

This town is dying and we’re leaving straight away»

She drove around the block, dropped me home

Rang the bell

In Hurtstville -- IT HURTS

Now all of my past lovers have become the best of friends

They hold a weekly meeting and they’re plotting their revenge

The soil is so soft I dug my grave just standing still

In Hurtsville

They say if you’re born you’ll die here, I wonder if it’s true

The last time I check population was just me and you

I flip the burgers while you work the till

In Hurtsville -- IT HURTS

Babies' crying, mamma’s gone

I’d be lying if I said she’s coming home

Planting seeds among the weeds I’ll never kill

In Hurtsville

We saw the wings off birds, we pull the sting from bees

We cut the heads of women

Who keep the men down on their knees

I couldn’t see what was happening

I’m just a soldier in the drill

In Hurtsville

They say if you’re born you’ll die here, I wonder if it’s true

The last time I check population was just me and you

I flip the burgers while you work the till

Oh in Hurtsville -- IT HURTS

IT HURTS

The has-beens have been counted, the clock has ticked

The trap was set, the fuse was lit

I came for an adventure but I only found cheap thrills

In Hurtsville -- IT HURTS

Oh IT HURTS

Oh IT HURTS
