Nobody loves me in this town this town this town
Nobody loves me in this town this town this town
To their parties they never invite me even my own dog bites me
And they call me they call me Ugly Brown
Nobody wants me in this town this town this town
Nobody wants me in this town this town this town
I won't swim in the river and that's a fact
'Cause every time I come out you keep-a throwin' me back
And you call me you call me Ugly Brown
[harmonica]
Nobody needs me in this town this town this town
Nobody needs me in this town this town this town
If I run away and hide where nobody can see
Then nobody comes and looks for me
And they call me they call me Ugly Brown
Cowards and heroes
Listen my friends
If you have money
Or nothing to spend
It'll make no difference
In a hundred years or so
Sooner or later
We all make the little flowers grow
Wise men and fools
Two 'll get you five
You'll never get
Out of this world alive
Don't run and hide
It's no use I know
Sooner or later
We all make the little flowers grow
[acoustic guitar]
Short men and tall men
And all the rest
Please don't blame me
I didn't start this mess
Some of us stay
Some of us go
Sooner or later
We all make the little flowers grow
I know you'll hurt me and it's such a crying shame
Cause when I'll die with my last breath I'll call your name
I never thought you'd be so cruel
Lemme tell you that happens when a fool loves a fool
With every breath I take with every kiss I kiss
With every tear I cry there goes my happiness
I never thought you'd be so cruel
Lemme tell you that happens when a fool loves a fool
Well I can't live without you but I don't know what I'm gonna do about you
I'm weak and the God knows who's to blame
Well I love and want you near me but you never could seem me hear me
You gonna mess around and drive me insane
I cry and cry and cry you just walk away
You lie and lie and lie and I come back to stay
I never thought you'd be so cruel
Lemme tell you that happens when a fool loves a fool
[ horns ]
Well I can't live without you...
Lemme tell you that happens when a fool loves a fool
If you got a place where the grass is green
and the sky is blue and the air is clean
and you got a church but you never go
that's a white people thing
that's a white people thing.
If you know your neighbours
and you neighbour is good
and you like your neighbour
and your neighbourhood
and you shake his hand
and you say hello
that's a white people thing
that's a white people thing.
It's so nice to live in the suburb
where white is the absence of colour
don't look for a brother
or bother a mother
who hopes exclusively wry
that's a white people thing!
When you see a neighbour
when you walk at night
and you're not affraid
cause his face is right
but you carry a gun
cause you never know
that's a white people thing
that's a white people thing!
Wind, you go but where you have been?
You say you’ll stay
but then like me you go again
looking for a home
Sky, you’re just a place to fly
You’re just a big blue eye
like me sometime you cry
looking for a home
Sea, you’re nothing more
than me than just a rolling sea
another part of me
looking for a home
Sand, you’re all there’s left of man
since time itself began
someday I’ll turn to sand
still looking for a home
looking for a home
looking for a home
looking for a home
