lyrics

There’s a gala nite at the WMC
And anyone who’s anyone turns out to be
There with the rank and file of Ben Sherman shirts
Bootlace ties and genuine patent leather boots, complete with spurs

Some women are on crutches, their arms in splints
One hundred dropping mouths, two hundred squints
The pseudo country band and hard drinking begins
And for everyone this is the place to be because tonight

Doncaster is Nashville, Tennessee

Empty beer glasses pile up about the place
Tempers flare and voices are raised
Some blood is spilled as fists are flayed
But for everyone this is the place to be because tonight

Doncaster is Nashville, Tennessee

Somebody missed the key change and they all lost time
The singer’s forgotten the words and they don’t rhyme
And the bar has run out of everything except White Lightning and Special Brew
The floor is strewn with broken glass and the bogs are full of spew

And God help you if you’re black, God help you if you’re queer
God help you if you’re different or not from around here
The usual display of prejudice and bigotry
And it’s not much different from Nashville, Tennessee

There’s a gala nite at the WMC
Where everyone who’s anyone turned out to be
A sea of wreckage you will never again see
But for everyone this was the place to be because tonight

Doncaster is Nashville, Tennessee
