Neighbourhood Lyrics

[Hook]
Who lives in a house like this?
Who lives in a house like this?

[Verse 1]
In number 69 there lives a transvestite
He's a man by day, but he's a woman at night
There's a man in number 4 who swears he's Saddam Hussein
Says he's on a chore to start the third world war

[Chorus 1]
Oh, if you find the time, please come and stay a while
In my beautiful neighbourhood

[Verse 2]
In 110 they haven't paid the rent
So there goes the TV with the repo men
In 999 they make a living from crime
The house is always empty cuz they're all doing time

[Chorus 2]
Oh, if you find the time, please come and stay a while
In my beautiful neighbourhood
My neighbourhood, my, my, my beautiful neighbourhood
My neighbourhood, my, my, my beautiful neighbourhood

[Hook]
Who lives in a house like this?
Who lives in a house like this?

[Verse 3]
In number 18 there lives a big butch queen
He's bigger than Tyson and he's twice as mean
In 666 there lives a Mr Miller
He's our local vicar and a serial killer

[Chorus 2]
Oh, if you find the time, please come and stay a while
In my beautiful neighbourhood
My neighbourhood, my, my, my beautiful neighbourhood
My neighbourhood, my, my, my beautiful neighbourhood

[Hook]
Who lives in a house like this? (who lives here, man?)
Who lives in a house like this?

[Verse 4]
Oh they want to knock us down, cuz they think we're scum
But we will all be waiting when the bulldozers come
In a neighbourhood like this you know it's hard to survive
So you better come prepared cuz they won't take us alive

[Chorus 2]
Oh, if you find the time, please come and stay a while
In my beautiful neighbourhood
My neighbourhood, my, my, my beautiful neighbourhood
My neighbourhood, my, my, my beautiful neighbourhood
