Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Sometimes you're better off dead
There's a gun in your hand, it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
[Verse 2]
In a restaurant in a West End town
Call the police, there's a madman around
Running down underground
To a dive bar in a West End town
[Chorus]
In a West End town
In a West End town, a dead-end world
The East End boys, West End girls
In a West End town, a dead-end world
The East End boys, West End girls
West End girls
West End girls
[Verse 3]
Too many shadows, whispering voices
Faces on posters, too many choices
If? When? Why? What? I said how much have you got?
Have you got it? Do you get it? If so, how often?
Which do you choose, a hard or soft option?
[Chorus]
In a West End town, a dead-end world
The East End boys, West End girls
In a West End town, a dead-end world
The East End boys and West End girls
West End girls
Yeah
West End girls
Yeah
[Verse 4]
Oh yeah
Let's all celebrate!
Oh yeah
[Chorus]
Yeah, but how much do you need?
In a West End town, a dead-end world
The East End boys and West End girls
[Chorus]
A West End town, a dead-end world
The East End boys
West End girls
[Verse 5]
You got a heart of glass or a heart of stone
Just you wait till I get you home
We've got no future, we've got no past
Here today, built to last
In every city, in every nation
From Lake Geneva to the Finland Station
Yeah
[Chorus]
Been in a West End town, in a dead-end world
East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead-end world
The East End boys and West End girls
[Outro]
West End girls
Yeah
West End town, dead-end world
Yeah
The East End boys
West End girls
Yeah
West End girls
West End girls
Yeah, but how much do you need?
