It's the lyrics game kids. →[More:]
It's the funnest game in town!

1. One town's very like another
2. Gotta move on
3. The place where I come from is a small town
4. The train stopped in Serviceton less and less often
5. Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
6. No I cannot forget where it is that I come from
7. Flying my bike past the gates of the factories
8. Shining steel tempered in the fire
9. Well there's a real square cat he looks nineteen seventy four
10. There are wonders for everyone

But...
but...
I cheated!
There, I said it.
I confess I don't know most of those songs. I used the Google.

I'm sure I will be stripped of my prestigious title now, will have to hand in the laurels that fitted so handsomely around my head, have to bear the opprobrium of mecha.

*shakes head sadly* Oh, jouke.

*bows head in shame*
I'm sorry gaspode. I don't know what came over me. That search box was looking so appealing. Beckoning me. I was weak.
