All the disused derelict buildings

They tell of stories of time's gone by

They tell of broken dreams and promises

Of all those forgotten lies

And the waste grounds of a city proud

Tell the story you know too well

Just sit back for a while

And listen to the story I tell

Oh, you tell the story

Oh, you tell the story

You tell the story

(You heard ten times before)

You wait for the day, it must come soon

To get you away from your feelings of gloom

There's no real hope and there's none on it's way

You only survive from day to day

Oh, you tell the story

Oh, you tell the story

You tell the story

(You heard ten times before)

Oh, you tell the story

Oh, you tell the story

You tell the story

Oh, you tell the story

Oh, you tell the story

You tell the story

(You heard ten times before)

You tell a story of a city proud

You tell the story, you shout it out loud

The same old story, you wanna hear no more

The same old story, you've heard ten times before

You tell a story of a city proud

You tell the story, you shout it out loud

The same old story, you wanna hear no more

The same old story, you've heard ten times before

You tell a story of a city proud

You tell the story, you shout it out loud

The same old story, you wanna hear no more

The same old story, you've heard ten times before
