Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy Lyrics






Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
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

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

    Great song. I just beamed in from the 80s

  42. D.... D....

    I come back this song periodically as penance and in salute to the appalling way me and my schoolmates back in the day treated gay kids. I weep for those times, how so many thousands of kids all over the world were subjected to hateful vitriol just because they loved people I didn't understand. I am truly sorry.

    D.... D....

    @Deplorable D best company I've been in is with gay lads and gay girls.been many times to vespas on London then across to G A Y.would I go back and meet them again .too right

    I'm a straight lad too ,my mrs is bi and had fabulous times.

    D.... D....

    I forgive you. We are all guilty of treating humans & animals in appalling ways. Stand up, speak out, act when you see cruelty to animals or humans. It all starts with each one of us. Just because we have grown up with another persons ideals planted in our heads, doesn't mean we have to abide by them or listen to them. Be your own person & question EVERYTHING.

    D.... D....

    @Deplorable D We are all guilty as teens, the trick is to learn from it, be humble and accepting of others as you move through your life. We should never believe we have no more to learn or that we cannot improve.

    D.... D....

    love it when i see some people actually change for the better, it happens so rarely

    D.... D....

    At least you can admit it and amend your ways

  43. H.... H....

    When I listen to Bronski Beat, my neighbours entrap me into an alley and beat me up.

  44. J.... M....

    I knew this song by my father and his spectacular taste for good music like all the elderly and I remember that when I heard it at the Non Pop Stop in Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto V my eyes filled with tears 😊❤

  45. d.... 3....

    who is here from gta5?😂😂

    Best intro to a song ever.....

  48. P.... ....

    Bite qui bronze

  49. b.... ....

    So sad!

  50. E.... B....

    I find this song has quite an ethereal feeling and always has. This was my halcyon days.

  51. T.... T....

    I want to listen to and like this but I feel like I should get written permission before i proceed. Is there an organisation I could contact. I noticed a gay information kiosk the other week while visiting Amsterdam and regret now not going and asking questions. If I listen quietly and sit in the corner and keep my mouth shut would that be okay? It would be okay right.

  52. i.... ....

    Just timeless and still fresh as fook........

    when the cap fits, its manpower.

  57. B.... ....

    As if this was released today

  58. A.... ....

    Why does this look so depressingly English 😂

    A.... ....

    lol. i know what you mean !!. they are unbearable at the moment, but its because their prides under fire. im hoping they will stop being so restless when the public spending increases shortly.

    A.... ....

    Ah now, please, can we leave current politics out of here.
    A classic tune,and a Happy New Yr to u all 👌

    A.... ....

    @noel murphy Politics is everywhere and this song is just a perfect example of it...your comment seems just the typical dumb talking point of those who messed up and feel guilty about it now...so, my advice to you would be listening to this great song and fixing the mess you've made right after...LOL...HNY 2 U!

    A.... ....

    I never messed up and certainly feel no guilt so take your smartness elsewhere. I spoke about current governmental politics of which I have little interest. Anyways, best of luck, it’s still one of the great classics

    A.... ....

    @OUT.OF.THE.BOX.ROBOT Thats just Racist!! Have you never heard of William Wallace.!?

  66. D.... M....

    0:16 Jesse Pinkman questioning his sexuality after seeing Walter in his Y fronts.

  67. o.... t....

    The masses have never thirsted for truth. They turn away from the facts that displease them and prefer to idolize the error if it can seduce them. Whoever knows how to deceive them easily becomes their master, whoever tries to enlighten them always becomes their victim.
    Gustave Le Bon

    o.... t....

    'whoever tries to enlighten them always becomes their victim.'
    thats good. never heard that before.

  69. A.... A....

    GTA 5 brought me here who else

  70. S.... H....

    Nostalgia makes your past seem more exciting than it was. “Run away” is a common theme in music geared toward Tiger Beat consumers. You can never get that feeling back.

  86. G.... I....

    Looks kinda homosexual.

  87. �.... �....

    This is the only one gay story I perceive...

  88. K.... M....

    This song is good enough to set aside any sexual orientation opinions. Think about it, not many songs have ever done that.

    K.... M....

    Cool!!!

    K.... M....

    Naaah. Still think the same about bumming, fisting and AIDS before and after the song.... If only life were that simple 😄

    K.... M....

    IronPaul80 it doesn’t make me feel gay lol all I’m saying is it’s not so gay that you can’t turn up the volume and skank out to it without looking super camp lol can’t say that about YMCA lol

    K.... M....

    @Kris Morris I've listened to this song hundreds of times and not once have I thought about another mans cock. I am not judging, maybe I am the one that's doing it wrong.

    K.... M....

    its gay music, but song is cool (nohomo)

  89. K.... M....

    This song is good enough to set aside any sexual orientation opinions. Think about it, not many songs have ever done that.
