Heard the neighbour slam his car door,
|
Don't he realise this is Respectable Street?
|
What d'you think he bought that car for?
|
'Cause he realise this is Respectable Street
|
|
Now they talk about absorption,
|
In cosmopolitan proportions to their daughters,
|
As they speak of child prevention,
|
And immaculate receptions on their portable,
|
Sony entertainment centres.
|
|
Heard the neighbour slam his car door,
|
Don't he realise this is Respectable Street?
|
What d'you think he bought that car for?
|
'Cause he realise this is Respectable Street
|
|
Now she speak about diseases,
|
And which proposition 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.
|
|
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 stretching 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 neighbour slam his car door,
|
Don't he realise this is Respectable Street?
|
What d'you think he bought that car for?
|
'Cause he realise this is Respectable Street
