Lyrics
Shakerley In this town, there's a stain by the pub… it could be blood In this town, fruit machines flash and steal all your cash In this town, steel resolve rusts… ideas turn to dust In this town, despair and disease are growth industries In this town, every bus route is a Moebius loop In this town, sirens harmonise… they’re our lullabies Nowadays, anybody with a modicum of intellect feels pulverised and condemned by the empty white noise of information masquerading as knowledge. Feeling isolated, in a society that serves no one but those above you, strangles the meaning out of life. Such a feeling destroys the rebellion escape clause. Or creates an overwhelming desire… To make it REAL. Take me anywhere Take me anywhere Even to Shakerley or Shaftesbury, Shatterford or Shaftholm… Anywhere Take me anywhere Even to Scunthorpe or Southport, Stockport or Stockholm… Anywhere But please, please, please… Don't take me home Take me anywhere No, don't take me home Take me anywhere
