Respectable Street |
It’s in the order of their hedgerows |
It’s in the way their curtains open and close |
It’s in the look they give you down their nose |
All part of decency’s jigsaw, I suppose |
Heard the neighbor slam his car door |
Don’t he realize this is Respectable Street? |
What d’you think he bought that car for? |
'Cause he realized this is Respectable Street |
Now they talk about abortions |
In cosmopolitan proportions to their daughters |
As they speak of contraception |
And immaculate receptions on their portable |
Sony Entertainment Centers |
Heard the neighbor slam his car door |
Don’t he realize this is Respectable Street? |
What d’you think he bought that car for? |
'Cause he realized this is Respectable Street |
Now she speaks about diseases |
And which sex position pleases best her old man |
Avon lady fills the creases |
When she manages to squeeze in past the caravans |
That never move from their front gardens |
Heard the neighbor slam his car door |
Don’t he realize this is Respectable Street? |
What d’you think he bought that car for? |
'Cause he realized this is Respectable Street |
It’s in the order of their hedgerows |
It’s in the way their curtains open and close |
It’s in the look they give you down their nose |
All part of decency’s jigsaw, I suppose |
Sunday church and they look fetching |
Saturday night, saw him retching over our fence |
Bang the wall for me to turn down |
I can see them with their stern frown as they dispense |
The kind of look that says they’re perfect |
Heard the neighbor slam his car door |
Don’t he realize this is Respectable Street? |
What d’you think he bought that car for? |
'Cause he realized this is Respectable Street |
He realized this is Respectable Street |
He realized this is Respectable Street |
He realized this is Respectable Street |
