Paroles de 'Livsey Street' par Keshco

It's late you turn the tv off and go to bed
No-one there beside you and a silence in your head
And your skin is white your nails are blue your eyes are just so red
Oh this street will be the death of you
The neighbours howling in the middle of the night
Suspected for a long time that they weren't exactly right
And there's him across the road – watch another car explode tonight

I never knew why you came here
I never knew why you stayed
But i know you'll soon be going
Death will never be delayed on livsey street
On livsey street – ohh woh woh oh woh

Seven in the morning and a knock upon the door
Journalists are digging dirt about some local whore
Then the landlord turns around and he wants a tenner more
Oh this street will be the death of you
A tragic phone call from your auntie in brazil
Your mother's dead, your father's dead but grandad's just alive – still
Oh and your friend's been stabbed
Going up to pay his water bill

I never knew why you came here
I never knew why you stayed
But i know you'll soon be going
Death will never be delayed on livsey street
On livsey street – ohh woh woh oh woh

Every house is burgled, every window smashed
And every flower dies, every pet is dinner for the flies
Oh won't you realise this street is cursed
It's only gonna get worse
(kill yourself on livsey street)

You cut your wrists and then you cut them once again
Swallowed half a vat of pills, curled up in a ball and waited
Five days later, oh what a gruesome sight
For the vandals who broke in and found you
And the neighbours who killed themselves too
It was so very tragic, someone even wrote a poem
But no-one heard it cos the very next day he got run over

All this is happening on livsey street
Oh what is wrong with livsey street?
Council meeting – confirm what they already know
Livsey street must go
Send the bulldozers in
The foreman grinned a grin
As the workmen were about to begin
But suddenly the pavement opened up and swallowed everyone.
