When you're growing up in a small town
When you're growing up in a small town
When you're growing up in a small town
You say no one famous ever came from here
When you're growing up in a small town
and you're having a nervous breakdown
and you think that you'll never escape it
Yourself or the place that you live
Where did Picasso come from
There's no Michelangelo coming from Pittsburgh
If art is the tip of the iceberg
I'm the part sinking below

When you're growing up in a small town
Bad skin, bad eyes - gay and fatty
People look at you funny
When you're in a small town
My father worked in construction
It's not something for which I'm suited
Oh - what is something for which you are suited?
Getting out of here

I hate being odd in a small town
If they stare let them stare in New York City
at this pink eyed painting albino
How far can my fantasy go?
I'm no Dali coming from Pittsburgh
No adorable lisping Capote
My hero - Oh do you think I could meet him?
I'd camp out at his front door
There is only one good thing about small town
There is only one good use for a small town
There is only one good thing about small town
You know that you want to get out

When you're growing up in a small town
You know you'll grow down in a small town
There is only one good use for a small town
You hate it and you'll know you have to leave

songs for drella

My roots are in a small town...and I'm still that small-town girl at heart. But yeah, it's got its bad aspects too...like everyone knowing your business. hug

cities start out as small towns...enjoy it while it lasts...I live in the new LA, which was formerly a small city, or large town...but people in Cali began to visit...and brought their metroplex, gotta' have a car diseased mentality here...

Say goodbye to provincial and hello to cosmopolitan...at the price of your air quality...doh doh mumbling

one of my best friends grew up in a small town. I stayed there for a while and after a month I could see exactly why he'd almost had a nervous breakdown. it was a miserable, hostile place. I was glad to get out

good stuff. I was out on the town last night and today i've realised it's never a good idea to take your credit card out when you're guttered. i've realised this before. I expect it won't be to long til I realise it again laugh

sadly I spent money that was meant for the electricity bill. you know that moment when you're in the pub and you start weighing up the pros and cons of spending the rent money or whatever and think, sod it, i'm going to have a good time. why does it always seem so reasonable until the next day?laugh
