↓ LYRICS ↓

[Intro]
To your soul
To your soul
Cry
Cry
Cry

[Verse 1]
You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case
Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face

[Verse 2]
Mother will never understand why you had to leave
But the answers you seek will never be found at home
The love that you need will never be found at home

[Chorus]
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
And as hard as they would try they'd hurt to make you cry
But you never cried to them, just to your soul
No, you never cried to them, just to your soul

[Chorus]
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (Crying to your soul)
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (Crying to your soul)
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (Crying to your soul)
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

[Bridge]
Cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry

[Verse 5]
You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case
Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face

[Chorus]
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

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

One of the best songs ever... beautiful, haunting, evocative and filled with truth.

TokenEthnicGirl

Although the song is about his struggles, It can be applied to many scenarios that young men face, and I dare say adults like myself in their 50's. I was a teenager when this song was released. It connected with me then and still does to this day.

One of the coolest voices, songs ever.. .makes me cry just listening to it...over and over.

We all know what it is about, but really can be about any form of discrimination or plain "ordinary" bullying for no particular reason. And that's what makes it a masterpiece.

Rip Mr. Bronski, you rocked the 80's with this one ❤🔥💃🕺

Runaway or just let go of the thoughts that weigh you down in yer small little town. To me this song is about gaining freedom.

One of my favorite song from the 80's

I spent my teenage years, 2007-2011, discovering and listening to the great songs from the 80s, especially New Wave, synthpop, italo disco etc. It's funny, because of my musical tastes back then, I associate 80s music to my adolescence, even though I wasn't even born in the 80s.

I remember discovering this song and "Why" on a Saturday evening in 2008 thanks to my friend. I can still envision the mp3 tracks on his old Windows XP dektop computer, and then opening the tracks with the old version of Windows Media Player. I remember both "Smalltown Boy" and "Why" blowing my mind when I first heard them. I bought a Jimmy Sommerville best hits CD from my local CD store soon after.

This song has the ability of alchemizing any heartache into happiness. I dance my little heart out with tears of joy finding my own freedom and love of self! 💗💗💗

It is bliss! The ability of good music, ugh!

This is the song that I played the most when I'd go out for evening walks in Doha, Qatar 🇶🇦

I just found this song and I can't stop listening.

This sends me hurling back to early teens and childhood .. a lonely picked on boy ... no one to help ... crying inside crying for light and love .. Would have loved George michael to have covered this .. or Cher .. her dark moody voice for this sound ..
