Clean Town

About Clean Town

"Clean Town" is the first single by Swedish band Mando Diao from their 2004 album Hurricane Bar and their fourth single overall (not counting EPs). "Clean Town" was released in Japan as an EP, commonly known as the "Japan Tour EP." The EP featured an enhanced section with two live videos from a Japanese performance at the Harajuku Astro Hall. The B-sides, "Hail The Sunny Days" and "Your Lover's Nerve," both later featured again on the Swedish version of "You Can't Steal My Love", the latter also appearing as a bonus track on the Japanese version of Hurricane Bar. The live version of "Little Boy Jr," recorded in Boston, from the Japanese EP has appeared on many Mando Diao releases, including the UK version of "God Knows", the US version of the Paralyzed EP and the German limited edition of "Bring 'Em In". The song itself is about the band's hometown of Borlänge. It was originally written as praising the town, but ended up sounding more hateful than intended. The song suggests that, instead of leaving, cleaning up the hometown can be another way of escaping. The song is about being proud of where you come from because it will always be a part of who you are. In talking about the song, Gustaf Norén has said "we will always have one foot in Borlänge and [one in] the rest in the world." more »

We gonna run now

You wanna worship it's feelings
The ones who's squeezing the shame from every man
If mama says it's dinner time, if she ruins your love, run away
So you live in a prison, oh so you're wasting your life
Oh on a system you never will understand
Are you the one I dreamed of, man

Clean town if you want to get away
You pack your cases and you hope for a better day
Mama's alright she said she didn't want your love
Clean town if you want to get away
You pack your cases and you hope for a better day
Joni's alright she said she didn't want your love, yeah

Won't you walk down the main street
Take the bridge over never ending rails
And even if you're falling down
That's an open door to the outside world
So you live in a bubble, so you're wasting your life
Oh on a system you never will understand
Are you the one I dreamed of man

Clean town if you want to get away
You pack your cases and you hope for a better day
Mama's alright she said she didn't want your love
Clean town if you want to get away
You pack your cases and you hope for a better day
Joni's alright she said she didn't want your love, hey, hey

You can drive to the east cost, disappear for a while
I put the band-echo on, then we'll give him a ride
Are you the one I dreamed of man

Clean town if you want to get away
You pack your cases and you hope for a better day
Mama's alright she said she didn't want your love
Clean town if you want to get away
You pack your cases and you hope for a better day
Joni's alright she said she didn't want your

Love, she got away
Whoa, yeah, she got away
Whoa she got away
Whoa she got away
Whoa she got away
Whoa she got away
Whoa she got away
Whoa she got away
