Looking at a shop display of fancy james from the south of Spain
A Lady says "Ma'am can I help you" I just say NO
I walk back out again, into the morning rain
The Smell of MOCHA CREME on my brain
I put my hands into my pockets and what do I find?
Just two cold hands kinda looks like mine
I don't wanna live in this Boomtown no more!
I don't wanna judge my life by what I can't afford
I don't wanna live in this Boomtown
It's busting down my door {Chorus}
The Landlord called last night, he said he's selling off our home
He says he's sorry but neighbourhood has changed
They'll renovate this old dump and put us out with last weeks's JUNK
Some trendy folks gonna have a new place to play
Joey take me away from here
Give me your hand and wipe my tears
This is no place for us my dear
Chorus
They're closing down the Old Shops
The Air is filled with groovy talk
of high class Art for condos on the way
Joey I spend all my days looking at these shop displays
Sometimes, it makes me feel so bad
Chorus
