Bleeker Ridge - Small Town Dead

Song: Small Town Dead
Artist: Bleeker Ridge
Album: Small Town Dead

Bleeker Ridge is a Canadian rock band from Orillia, Ontaio.

Small Town Dead is the first single and title track from Bleeker Ridge's debut album, which was released in September of 2010. I think the song is about growing up in a small town, and not wanting to be stuck there for your whole life. The band member's are all really good musicians, and lead singer Taylor Perkins has a great voice. The song is fast, energetic and great to rock out to. The music video shows the band in their hometown of Orillia, where they work boring jobs or hang out in random places.  It alternates between them leaving these places to go play a show and them actually playing a show in the middle of town. In the radio edit the lyrics "My reputation failed and fucked me again / Pack my shit leave this town" are replaced with "My reputation failed and stopped me again / Pack my things leave this town".

"Small Town Dead"

I got the number but my reputation failed
and fucked me again, pack my shit
Leave this town go to a place where no one
Knows who I am

And Why do I get in this situation
And Why do I leave myself to blame yeaah

Oh no there we go like it never ended
Small town has left me dead
I cant stay for the blame and the broken hearted
With my back against the wall
Oh no here we go like it never ended
Small town has left me dead
I cant stay for the blame and the broken hearted
Small Town Dead!

I like to tell her but to say those words would mean
My cover is blown
What's truth when it doesnt help you
You've got to look after your own

And Why do I get in this situation
And Why do I leave myself to blame yeaah

Oh no there we go like it never ended
Small town has left me dead
I cant stay for the blame and the broken hearted
With my back against the wall
Oh no here we go like it never ended
Small town has left me dead
I cant stay for the blame and the broken hearted
Small Town Dead!

Growing up never living
A second hand city
Living like this forever
I'm small town dead!

(ooooooh)

Oh no there we go like it never ended
Small town has left me dead
I cant stay for the blame and the broken hearted
With my back against the wall
Oh no here we go like it never ended
Small town has left me dead
I cant stay for the blame and the broken hearted
Small Town Dead!

Oooooh, I'm small town dead!
