Borrowed Town Songtext
von Gary Kemp

It′s a borrowed town
It's a hand-me-down
It wears its sky like a dirty crown
It takes and gives
Oh, it dies, then lives
This place doesn′t hurt
Ooh-ooh
But you do

It's a passing through
It's the old and new
It loves you all
The many and the few
It goes underground
It goes ′round and ′round
This place doesn't hurt
Ooh-ooh
But you do


Come on and save me from this
Give me a village to live
Give me your rivers of bliss
Come on and save me from this

It′s a human machine
A dystopian dream
A harvest of light
Where the bugs all bite
It's a matter of fact
That your life′s been hacked
This place doesn't hurt
Ooh-ooh
But you do

Come on and save me from this
Give me a village to live
Give me your rivers of bliss
Come on and save me from this


It′s a borrowed town
It's the lost and found
It's a complex fugue
A mighty tune, an intensive sound
It′s a word from the kind
And it′s a hand to the blind
This place doesn't hurt
Ooh-ooh

Oh, this place doesn′t hurt
No, this place doesn't hurt
But you do

Give me a village to live
Give me your rivers of bliss
Give me a village to live
Give me your rivers of bliss
Give me a village to live
Give me your rivers of bliss
Give me a village to live
Give me your rivers of bliss

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Come on and save me from this
Come on and save me from this
Give me a village to live
Come on and save me
Come on and save me from this
Come on and save me from this
Give me your rivers of bliss
Come on and save me
