Gottingen Street |
| This tumble down street’s just a run down street |
| Ringing with the clatter of restless feet |
| They’re kicking in the windows on gottingen street |
| Just to steal the quiet for the night |
| In the morning there will be no pain |
| Just a drug coursing through the veins |
| Of the ones who give and take the blame |
| For living on the wrong side of the tracks |
| Broken windows go with broken homes |
| Broken hearts on faces of stone |
| The street’s filled with people all alone |
| All alone and all together on gottingen street |
| The neon lights can’t take away |
| The many different shades of grey |
| That reach from the shadows to where children play |
| In gutters that run with ruin |
| I’m looking down from the second floor |
| At the sally anne and the tv store |
| Insurance salesmen going door to door |
| It looks like business is booming |
| See that twisted old figure used to be a man |
| Squeezing the juice out of lysol cans |
| Livin' in the doorways of shadowland |
| Just another extra on the set |
| Winter’s cruel in this part of town |
| The snow’s piled dirty all around |
| The weak fall prey with defences down |
| Down, down on gottingen street |
