You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case Alone on the platform the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face Mother will never understand why you had to leave For the answers you seek will never be found at home For the love that you need will never be found at home Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Pushed around and kicked around, always a lonely boy You were the one that they'd talk about around town as they put you down And as hard as they would try, they'd hurt to make you cry But you'd never cry to them, just to your soul No you'd never cry to them, just to your soul Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Crying Turn away, turn your way, run away, turn your way, run away Crying Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Cry boy cry Cry boy cry Cry boy, cry boy, cry Cry for them cry boy, cry Cry for them cry boy, cry Cry boy, cry boy, cry Cry for them cry boy, cry Cry for them cry boy, cry Cry You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case Alone on the platform the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

Smalltown Boy foi lançado em maio de 1984 pela gravadora London Recordings, sendo o single de estreia da banda britânica Bronski Beat.
O videoclipe, dirigido por Bernard Rose, foi filmado em East London e mostra um jovem que abandona a casa depois de ser atacado por homofóbicos.
No Reino Unido a música chegou ao terceiro lugar no singles chart, enquanto dominou o Top 1 na Holanda e na Bélgica, consolidando seu status de hino gay dos anos 80.
Em 2022, a Rolling Stone classificou Smalltown Boy como a 163ª maior canção dance da história, reafirmando seu impacto duradouro na cultura musical.
Para celebrar os 40 anos de lançamento, em 2024 a faixa foi reedição com uma série de remixes, demonstrando sua contínua relevância entre novos públicos.
