[00:00.41]Quietest Town in England - Tom Rosenthal
[00:01.76]Lyrics by:Tom Rosenthal/Matt Maltese
[00:03.13]Composed by:Tom Rosenthal/Matt Maltese
[00:15.15]The traffic is too heavy
[00:18.03]A man shouts to the air
[00:21.77]I saw a dog at the window
[00:25.56]I was never even there
[00:29.26]They ask me if I'm busy
[00:32.15]If I have a moment to spare
[00:35.55]It's always the same in this city
[00:39.50]People going 'round and 'round but nowhere
[00:43.75]Sometimes in my daydreams I go
[00:50.11]Back to cobblestones
[00:53.74]Back to silent movies
[00:57.25]One car on the road
[01:00.72]I think that might have moved me
[01:04.18]A hundred years ago this was the quietest town in England
[01:14.92]The cranes are too many
[01:18.70]The streetlights too bright
[01:22.42]Man turns green to mean go
[01:25.35]But we've all gone home tonight
[01:29.43]They ask me if I'm lonely
[01:32.65]If I wanna take a call
[01:36.14]But at least my pillow knows me
[01:40.06]While I know nothing at all
[01:43.87]Back to picture postcards
[01:47.39]Back to skyline beauty
[01:50.97]Milk floats in the morning
[01:54.52]Think that might have moved me
[01:57.90]A hundred years ago this was the quietest town in England
[02:07.88]I saw some old film black and white
[02:11.71]Everyone in the picture bright
[02:15.22]It's easy to romanticise I know
[02:18.91]But the mind goes where it goes
[02:22.13]A single hat on every head
[02:25.99]Everyone in this photo's dead
[02:29.43]It's easy to romanticise I know
[02:33.16]But the heart goes where it goes
[02:37.61]Sometimes in my daydreams I go
[02:43.92]Back to cobblestones
[02:47.41]Back to silent movies
[02:51.03]One car on the road
[02:54.29]I think that might have moved me
[02:57.89]A hundred years ago this was the quietest town in England
[03:09.26]Quietest town in England
[03:23.42]Quietest town in England
