Boomtown

1.Boomtown (Less Than Jake) sözleri

Less Than Jake tarafından albümünde söylenen Boomtown adlı şarkının sözleri.

So here let’s talk about the boomtown facts
You’ve got stick up kids coming right at my back
Two blocks of reasonable rent and it’s only getting smaller
And the rest of boomtown is only getting taller
You’ve got ten miles of traffic and three hundred miles of roadway
And a million lights burning bright night and day
With all these lights going off like roman candles
It’s getting too much for me to handle

Boomtown’s only based on image torn down and built up from one man’s vision
When all the workers are all up and gone
It feels like I’m sitting on a ticking time bomb.

2.Boomtown (Greg Brown) sözleri

Greg Brown tarafından albümünde söylenen Boomtown adlı şarkının sözleri.

With their need for money and quiet spaces.
They leave New York, they leave L.A..
Here they are - who knows how long they'll stay -

[Chorus:]
It's a Boomtown
Got another Boomtown
And it'll boom
Just as long as boom has room.

Here come the tourists with their blank stares,
With their fanny packs - they are penny millionaires.
Something interesting happened here long time ago.
Now where people used to live their lives the restless
come and go.

[Chorus]

Nice to meet you, nice to see you
In a sheepskin coat made in Korea.
Welcome to the new age, the new century.
Welcome to a town with no real reason to be.

[Chorus]

The rich build sensitive houses and pass their staff around.
For the rest of us, it's trailers on the outskirts of town.
We carry them their coffee, wash their shiny cars,
Hear all about how lucky we are
To be living in a ...

[Chorus]

The guy from California moves in and relaxes.
The natives have to move - they cannot pay the taxes.
Santa Fe has had it. Sedona has, too.
Maybe you'll be lucky - maybe your town will be the new...

[Chorus]
