You're up and you'll get down You never running from this town Kind of think you said You'll never get anything better than this 'Cause you're going round in circles And everyone knows you're trouble 'Cause you read it in a big book And now you're giving me the look, look But just remember how we shook, shook And all the things we took, took This town's the oldest friend of mine Get up and we get down We're always running round this town And to think I said We'd never make anything better than this 'Cause we're always in small circles And everyone thinks we're trouble We didn't read it in the big book (we didn't read it in a big book, big book, big book) And now we're giving you the look, look (giving you the look, ah, giving you the look, ah-ah) Just remember how we shook, shook (shook, shook, shook, shook) And all the things we took, took (took, took, took, took) (This town, this town) this town's the oldest friend of mine (This town, this town, this town)

Joseph Mount intencionalmente usou um som de órgão “jaunty” para criar uma ligação direta ao ambiente costeiro típico do Reino Unido, consciente de que esse elemento musical costuma evocar imagens de resorts litorâneos.
A escolha do órgão foi feita como um “tip of the hat” (um sinal de respeito) à tradição musical de cidades litorâneas inglesas, que muitas vezes são vistas como antigos e melancólicos.
O objetivo de Mount, segundo ele, era refletir essa percepção e “virá‑la de cabeça para baixo”, sugerindo uma reinterpretação lúdica e otimista do cenário costeiro.
A referência ao som do órgão demonstra a intenção consciente de subverter a expectativa de que a música do mar deveria ser sóbria, ao invés de ser alegre e enérgica.
