Downtown - Marianne Faithfull

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.
