Respectable Street

What d'you think he bought that car for
Avon lady fills the creases
That never move from their front gardens
He realize this is respectable street
Don't he realize this is respectable street
And which sex position pleases best her old man

Don't he realize this is respectable street
Don't he realize this is respectable street
'Cos he realize this is respectable street

It's in the way their curtains open and close
As they speak of contraception

Now they talk about abortions
What d'you think he bought that car for
What d'you think he bought that car for
He realize this is respectable street
All part of decency's jigsaw I suppose
It's in the order of their hedgerows

Heard the neighbor slam his car door
Heard the neighbor slam his car door

In cosmopolitan proportions to their daughters
When she manages to squeeze in past the caravans
Don't he realize this is respectable street
What d'you think he bought that car for
Sony Entertainment Centers
It's in the look they give you down their nose
It's in the look they give you down their nose

'Cos he realize this is respectable street
Bang the wall for me to turn down
The kind of look that says they're perfect
Saturday night saw him retching over our fence

Heard the neighbor slam his car door
Now she speaks about diseases
And immaculate receptions on their portable
Heard the neighbor slam his car door
'Cos he realize this is respectable street

'Cos he realize this is respectable street
All part of decency's jigsaw I suppose
I can see them with their stern frown as they dispense
Sunday church and they look fetching
