Richard Thompson - Psycho Street lyrics
Your rating:
The book begins, Dear Sir, I don't know if you're interested, but Your wife is a whore... A man gets on a train and proceeds to take all his clothes off He begins to play with himself-and he says, In my country, this is definitely not offensive... A man pours petrol through his neighbour's letterbox and throws in a match Soon the house isengulfed in flames As the neighbors jump >From the upstairs window he films the whole thing on video He plays it back to them later in hospital Things have been pretty dull At home without you, he says... A man pushes a lawnmower two hundred miles on his knees To the tomb of the unknown gardener Great One, he cries, I have done my penance I bring my offering Grant me-grant me- Pest-free roses CHORUS Psycho Street, frinedly people down on Psycho Street, good neighbours Down on Psycho Street If you need a hand, need a friend, we understand If you need a pal, we'll be there, any how Psycho Street A man stakes his neighbour's ct to the barbecue And turns on the gas now are you going to talk he says, Or am I going to have to get nasty... A man has an inflatable doll made that looks exactly like his wife He murders his wife, dissolves her body in acid, and marries the doll Three years later he leaves her For another doll... A man hands his son a brick and says, son, Throw this brick through the greenhouse next door The boy does The boy next door throws one back It hits the man on the head and mortally wounds him Ah well, he says as his lifeblood trickles away, Boys will be boys... A thoughtful woman sends her best friend a parcel Inside, it says, is a free sample Full body beauty treatment, but it really contains acids and chemicalls When her friend tries it, her hair falls out, Her face is wrinkled and her body scarred The thoughtful turns to her husband and winks, and says.
