D D Dsus2 D Dsus2 Em Em7 Em D D Dsus2 Em G A D D Dsus2 D Dsus2 Em Em7 Em D Em Em7 Bm A G The wind cuts up these streets - it slices through my clothes I walk with heavy feet, the power station glows I read the auction signs - neighbours we've come to know They sell up for a song, I wonder where they go

Am C Em D Em D This old town is slowing down again Am C Em D Em D The circle turns we're all surprised again Am C This old town is slowing down

The Chinese take-away, is empty every night The family sit and wait beneath their lantern light The butcher's window glares, the meat bleeds on its trays The latest owner smiles and asks about your day

This old town is slowing down again The pollies wear their sad-eyed frowns again This old town is slowing down

The barber sits and stares, The Truth is on page three He eyes my tangled hair but I just walk away The grocer's up for lease, for almost all the year The milk bar owner's smile shows a hint of fear

This old town is slowing down again The kids are hanging round the streets again This old town is slowing down

The TAB is full - money changes hands The blokes stand round and bullshit 'bout their latest plans The Junctions Hotel sweats, the lads enjoy their beers One jokingly makes threats to who'll take time to hear

This old town is slowing down again The women pack their bags 'just in case' again This old town is slowing down || Let's try that again

The wind cuts up these streets It slices through my clothes I walk with heavy feet, the power station glows I read the auction signs - neighbours we've come to know They sell up for a song, I wonder where they go

This old town is slowin down again This old town is slowin down

The Chinese take-away, is empty every night The family sit and wait beneath their lantern light The butcher's window glares, the meat bleeds on its trays The latest owner smiles and asks about my day

This old town is slowin down again This old town is slowin down

This old town is slowin down again The boom goes bust we're all surprised again The rich folks say the poor must pay again This old town is slowing down

The TAB is full - money changes hands The blokes stand round and bullshit 'bout their latest plans The Junction Hotel sweats, the lads enjoy their beers The jokes sound more like threats the laughter more like fear

This old town is slowin down (to close) || I read the auction signs - neighbours we've come to know They sell up for a song, I wonder where they go The women pack their bags just in case again
