hey peepz,

I always liked the song ´Shit Towne´ of TC, and first I wondered why it´s always spelled as shit townE (with an e), but I thought nobody really knows... whatever

anywayz, I was wondering too what Ed is singing in some live versions of the song. Don't know exactly, but I thought he did so in versions I heard of 2000 (1999,2001? or maybe always) by singing something like

" Shit towne! a little f*ckin' town, shit towne, God bless you baby, shit toou-oouwne, God bless amerika!, and Pizza hoot, and Burgerking (WTF??), and (...) and (....) f*ck you !! (I guess?) , shit towne, shit toou-oouwne! "

I knew he don't like his hometowne lol.gif but did anyone the lyrics of those live versions, and what's meant by them?

I guess he uses a chorus to express his love/hate relation with York and the States in general, and name-drops some of its "icons". Afaik, it's pretty much improvisation and the lyrics vary.

It's spelt Towne because that's the "ye olde english" way of spelling it .. or something.

Yeah he adds little bits into the live version like in Australia he was singing "God bless America ... and Australia, and shit town"

The last couple shows I've seen he's said "all these fucking crystal meth heads..." instead of the usual "crackheads" part.
