Lyrics

I was born in a town and I had to get along
I bought the right albums
but I dug the wrong songs
At least from from the start
that I had to get away
The streets were getting smaller each and every day
I was born in a town and I couldn't get along
I really tried to manage but I wasn't that strong
I got on a train that would take me anywhere
at least somewhere
not just stay here

I left Victoria in Smallville
I left Victoria in Smallville

I was supposed to take a job that I really couldn't stand
But every second week I got some money in my hand
I'm moving to a flat with Billy and his girl
He was unemployed and she was working for a better world
we started up a band called Flat Liberate
and wrote sick songs about jealousy and hate

I left Victoria in Smallville
I left Victoria in Smallville

And then the winter came I moved out and all I thought about was you
the way we used to steal cigarettes holding hands making love making bets

I was faced with a choice at a difficult stage
should I play the guitar or should I act my age
so please don't push me cuz I'm close to the edge
I'm trying all the time not to lose my head

I left Victoria in Smallville
I left Victoria in Smallville
And now it all seems so stupid
And now it all seems so stupid
