| 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 |
