Lyrics:

… Sometimes you're better off dead

There's a gun in your hand it's pointing at your head

You think you're mad, too unstable

Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables

In a restaurant in a West End town

Call the police, there's a mad man around

Running down underground

To a dive bar in a West End town

… In a West End town, a dead end world

The East End boys and West End girls

In a West End town, a dead end world

The East End boys and West End girls

West End girls

… Too many shadows, whispering voices

Faces on posters, too many choices

If, when, why, what? How much have you got?

Have you got it, do you get it

If so, how often?

Which do you choose

A hard or soft option?

(How much do you need?)

… In a West End town, a dead end world

The East End boys and West End girls

In a West End town, a dead end world

The East End boys and West End girls

West End girls

West End girls

… In a West End town, a dead end world

The East End boys and West End girls

Ooh, West End town, a dead end world

East End boys, West End girls

West End girls

… You got a heart of glass or a heart of stone

Just you wait 'til I get you home

We've got no future

We've got no past

Here today, built to last

In every city, in every nation

From Lake Geneva to the Finland station

(How far have you been?)

… In a West End town, a dead end world

The East End boys and West End girls

A West End town, a dead end world

East End boys, West End girls

West End girls

… West End girls

West End girls

(How far have you been?)
