Sometimes you're better off dead
There's gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a West End town
Call the police, there's a madman around [bad word] down underground to a dive bar
In a West End town
     
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
West End girls

You can find a place that no one knows
Where money talks, and streets are gold
Someone stands in every door
And if they speak, they break the law
Ask a question - blank faces
Read the news and turn the pages
Watch them play a different game
And no one knows your name

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
West End girls

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
Ooh, West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
West End girls

You've got a heart of glass or a heart of stone
Just you wait 'til I get you home
We've got no future, we've got no past
Here today, built to last
In every city, in every nation
From Lake Geneva to the Finland station

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End gir
West End town, a dead end world
The East End Boys, West End girls 
West End girls, girls
