Town Cryer

I'm the town crier and everybody knows
I'm a little down with a lifetime to go
Maybe you don't believe my heart is in the right place
Why don't you take a good look at my face
Other boys use the splendor of their trembling lip
They're so teddy bear tender and tragically hipI'm never going to cry again
I'm going to be as strong as them
They say they'd die for love and then they live it out
They'll give you something to cry about
And suddenly you really fall to piecesI'm the town crier and everybody knows
I'm a little down with a lifetime to go
Maybe you don't believe my heart is in the right place
Why don't you take a good look at my face
Other boys use the splendor of their trembling lip
They're so teddy bear tender and tragically hipLove and unhappiness go arm in arm
Long suffering friends of your fatal charm
Living for the pity that you're going to get hurt
Just a little boy lost in a big man's shirt
And suddenly you really fall to pieces
