Gulltown 03:05
Say goodbye to the old public hall and the crazy golf animals needed a lick of paint years ago Say goodbye, even though... So long the bench and say "Hello!" to the girls in the arcade "Hello!" This is my favourite game Let's get some... "Vinegar; open." I'm going to the pier It's all boarded up and no one's there Let's throw pebbles into the sea and just stare.... and then get some: vinegar; open. Say goodbye, but slowly Say goobye to the chip stand guy on the promenade to the club, to the cinema to the shipyard shack, to the station platform way out back Say goodbye... say goodbye to it all even though... even though we've nowhere else to go. So long the bench and say "Hello!" to the girls in the arcade "Hello!" This was my favourite game Let's get some... "Vinegar; open."

SMAKK22 03:19
And when the police get you they beat you black and blue but my legend still be true my name: SMAKK22 We ride the trains in vain We are stealing out at night and we shall write our names those names, they shine so bright And we were wired for science and kingly this town, it wears our names and rightly! Colours to dazzle - done! Fame to inspire - done! Walk the tracks: death-dicing nine lives for a cool cat And when the gangs get you they beat you black and blue but my legend still be true my name: SMAKK22 I was wired for science and kingly this town it wears my name believe me! And me, I see the trains through black eyes And she forgives when I'm not there when I am there when they call to bail be home. They beat you black and blue and you may not always rule but my legend still be true my name? SMAKK22.

Virtual Pier 02:51
VIRTUAL PIER I'm standing on the virtual pier and there's nobody else here I'm going down to the solemn sea and there's nobody with me I'm going down to the sympathy sands and no one holds my hand I'm standing on the virtual pier and there's nobody else here . .
