Songtext Downtown Marianne Faithfull

Downtown

When you're alone
And life is making you lonely
You can always go
Down town.

When you've got worries
All the noise and the hurry
Seems to hurt, I know.
Down town.

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city,
Linger on the sidewalks where the neon signs are pretty.
How can you lose?

The lights are much brighter there,
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

And go down town.
Things will be great when you're
Down town.
No finer place for sure,
Down town.
Everything's waiting for you.
Don't hang around
And let your problems surround you,
There are movie shows
Down town.

Maybe you know
Some little places to go
To where they never close,
Down town.

Just listen to the rhythm of the gentle bossa-nova,

You'll be dancing with them, too, before the night is over,
Happy again.

The lights are much brighter there,
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

And go down town.
Where all the lights are bright
Down town.
Waiting for you tonight
Down town.
You're gonna be all right now.

And you may find
Somebody kind
To help and understand you,
Someone who is just like you
And needs a gentle hand
To guide him along.

So maybe I'll see you there,
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares

And go down town.
Things will be great when you're
Down town.
Don't wait a minute more,
Down town.
Everything's waiting for you
