Town without Pity - Gene Pitney
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5BfjNdItBw


When you're young and so in love as we
And bewildered by the world we see
Why do people hurt us so
Only those in love would know
What a town without pity can do

If we stop to gaze upon a star
People talk about how bad we are
Ours is not an easy age
We're like tigers in a cage
What a town without pity can do

The young have problems, many problems
We need an understanding heart
Why don't they help us, try and help us
Before this clay and granite planet falls apart

Take these eager lips and hold me fast
I'm afraid this kind of joy can't last
How can we keep love alive
How can anything survive
When these little minds tear you in two
What a town without pity can do

How can we keep love alive
How can anything survive
When these little minds tear you in two
What a town without pity can do

No, it isn't very pretty what a town without pity

1. That song always makes me think of this movie called "Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat"
I think that was the opening theme or something. I have no idea why, but for some reason it used to be on HBO all the time when I was a kid.

2. I think you like this song...
But I hate it.

It's overblown soap opera, and it's sung in an over-the-top style.
Jes' my opinyun... ;-)

It reminds me of a time in my past, that's why I like it.
