Sometimes you're better off dead
There's a 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
Running 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

Too many shadows, whispering voices
Faces on posters, too many choices
If, when, why, what?
How much have you got?

Have you got it, do you get it?
If so, how often?
And which do you choose?
A hard or soft option?

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, 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
East End boys, West End girls
West End girls, West End girls

You can find a place, that no one knows
Where money talks and streets are gold
Someone stands on 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
No one knows your name

West End girls, West End girls

You got a heart of glass or a heart of stone?
Just you wait 'till 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 girls
Ooh, West End town, a dead-end world
East End Boys, West End girls
West End girls

And no one knows your name
No one knows your name, no one knows your name
No one knows your name, no one knows your name
No one knows your name, no one knows your name
No one knows your name, no one knows your name
No one knows your name, no one knows your name
No one knows your name, no one knows your name
No one knows your name
