Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy

[Intro]

To your soul

To your soul

Cry

Cry

Cry

[Verse 1]

You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case

Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face

[Verse 2]

Mother will never understand why you had to leave

But the answers you seek will never be found at home

The love that you need will never be found at home

[Chorus]

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

[Verse 3]

Pushed around and kicked around, always a lonely boy

You were the one that they'd talk about around town as they put you down

[Verse 4]

And as hard as they would try they'd hurt to make you cry

But you never cried to them, just to your soul

No, you never cried to them, just to your soul

[Chorus]

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (Crying to your soul)

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (Crying to your soul)

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (Crying to your soul)

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

[Bridge]

Cry, boy, cry

Cry, boy, cry

Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry

Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry

Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry

Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry

Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry

Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry

[Verse 5]

You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case

Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face

[Chorus]

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
