Sometimes you're better off dead
There's gun in your hand
And 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 madman 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
And which do you choose, a hard or soft option

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

----- Instrumental Interlude ----

In a west end town, a dead end world
The east end boys and west end girls
Oooh, west end town, a dead end world
East end boys and west end girls
West end girls

You've got a heart of glass or a heart of stone
Just you wait 'till 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

In a west end town, a dead end world
The east end boys and west end girls
Oooh, west end town, a dead end world
East end boys and west end girls
West end girls
West end girls
West end girls
