Smalltown Boy
Bronski Beat Lyrics


To your soul
To your soul
Cry
Cry
Cry

You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case
Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face

Mother will never understand why you had to leave
But the answers you seek will never be found at home
The love that you need will never be found at home

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

Pushed around and kicked around, always a lonely boy
You were the one that they'd talk about around town as they put you down

And as hard as they would try they'd hurt to make you cry
But you never cried to them, just to your soul
No, you never cried to them, just to your soul

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (crying to your soul)
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (crying to your soul)
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (crying to your soul)
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

Cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry

Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry

You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case
Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

So were the 60's GREAT

Try listening to those songs you'll fall in love with so many of them


Such a different time we all got along.... didnt matter what race your were...NO BULLYING

We didnt have CELL PHONES...we would use a pay phones (phone booths) glass boxes...
they were almost on every corner

This is how were got the word around to let our friends and their friends
everyone know where the next house party was...or beach🏖party
It
was all done by word of mouth or we gave out flyers

Our house parties had live bands playing....AMAZING

I'll give you an Example:
YOUTUBE
Black Betty


It's not a racial song

We would party like that in a friends back yard
day or night


I hope you enjoy the 60's

Dear Bjorno, you seem to be a sad and angry person, and yes I did really cry when I saw the video for
Small Town Boy, for the first time in 1981 or 1982. Isn’t that a terrible thing? Ooh the world is coming to an end!

Perhaps you’re not aware of the fact that violence and hatred against LGBLQ people at that time was casually accepted. I did not know.
I think I was unaware of it before that moment because it had not impacted me. I was unaware. The song affected me. It affected me a lot and if that is a problem for you I suggest you find a therapist.

So seek help for your anger, it might do you some good.

I did not drink. I did not do drugs. I just danced all night in clubs and I felt as high as anyone. Music is the answer to everything.

Rafał Krukowski

Music- HEALS!!!

Dekuuchiha
