Goodbye, Mapton Shire Though I never knew you at all You had no grace to hold yourself When lives were torn apart They crawled into their limestone house As the TV whispered into their brain That set them on the treadmill And they made them lose their game And it seems to me they lived their life Like a condoner of the vile Always knowing who rents out their kids When they needed another car I knew I would have liked to live there When I was just a kid But their ethics burned out long before Our ravers ever will Loneliness was tough The hardest role I ever played Maptonshire called upon the phoenix star Pain relieved by pleasure was the only price he paid Even when they were trialled Oh, how the lawyers hounded him All the police had to say was We’ve driven around the area in the nude And it seems to me they lived their life Like a condoner of the vile knowing exactly who to call up When down to their last 100 grand And I wouldn't have liked to know you since I was just a kid As your ethics burned out long before Our ravers ever will Goodbye, Mapton Shire You know I couldn’t stand you all As you had no grace to hold yourself Whilst live's around you were torn apart So goodbye, you Vileophiles From the raver saving your kids for 30 years Who see you as nothing more than anti-sexual Nothing less than a Jimmy Saville fan And it seems to me you lived your life Like a condoner of the vile Always knowing who to call up When you wanted another car And I would’ve liked to live there But I was just a kid Your ethics burned out long before Our ravers ever will And I would’ve liked to live there But I was just a kid Your ethics burned out long before Our ravers ever will
