Tom Waits - Town With No Cheer

Tom Waits

Town With No Cheer

Well, it's hotter and blazes and all the long faces
There'll be no oasis for a dry local grazier
There'll be no refreshment for a thirsty jackaroo
From Melbourne to Adelaide on the overlander
With newfangled buffet cars and faster locomotives
The train stopped in Serviceton less and less often

No, there's nothing sadder than a town with no cheer
VicRail decided the canteen was no longer necessary
No spirits, no bilgewater and eighty dry locals
And the high noon sun beats a hundred and four
There's a hummingbird trapped in a closed down shoe store
This tiny victorian rhubarb kept the watering hole open for sixty five years

Now it's boiling in a miserable March twenty first
Wrapped the hills in a blanket of Patterson's curse
The train smokes down the xylophone, there'll be no stopping here
All ya can be is thirsty in a town with no cheer

No bourbon, no branchwater
Though the townspeople here fought the VicRail decree tooth and nail

Now it's boiling in a miserable March twenty first
Wrapped the hills in a blanket of Patterson's curse
The train smokes down the xylophone, there'll be no stopping here
All ya can be is thirsty in a town with no cheer

Mirror lyrics:

All ya can be is thirsty in a town with no cheer
The train smokes down the xylophone, there'll be no stopping here
Wrapped the hills in a blanket of Patterson's curse
Now it's boiling in a miserable March twenty first

Though the townspeople here fought the VicRail decree tooth and nail
No bourbon, no branchwater

All ya can be is thirsty in a town with no cheer
The train smokes down the xylophone, there'll be no stopping here
Wrapped the hills in a blanket of Patterson's curse
Now it's boiling in a miserable March twenty first

This tiny victorian rhubarb kept the watering hole open for sixty five years
There's a hummingbird trapped in a closed down shoe store
And the high noon sun beats a hundred and four
No spirits, no bilgewater and eighty dry locals
VicRail decided the canteen was no longer necessary
No, there's nothing sadder than a town with no cheer

The train stopped in Serviceton less and less often
With newfangled buffet cars and faster locomotives
From Melbourne to Adelaide on the overlander
There'll be no refreshment for a thirsty jackaroo
There'll be no oasis for a dry local grazier
Well, it's hotter and blazes and all the long faces
