The second track from Baxter Dury’s 2020 album, The Night Chancers.
This song is a piece about the way a low-class, low-life bachelor is sterotypically pictured to live. A dirty house in disrepair, sleeping through the daytime, but still ‘charasmatic’ in their own weird way.
Slumlord Lyrics
[Chorus]
Taps always dripping
Sleeping in the daylight
Leaning out of windows
Slumlord's laughing
No one's gonna say anything very nice
[Verse 1]
Charm dripping like fresh honey
I'm the milky bar kid
Soiled trousers
Shiny cheekbones like graveyards in the sun
Murder shoes
Dirty eyes sizing up
[Chorus]
Taps always dripping
Sleeping in the daylight
Leaning out of windows
Slumlord's laughing
No one's gonna say anything very nice
[Verse 2]
Unless you got nothing to say
Just don't say it
Sleepless angels have blessed us
And I'll shout you down in a slumlord way
Scary people
Saying silly shit
[Chorus]
Taps always dripping
Sleeping in the daylight
Leaning out of windows
Slumlord's laughing
No one's gonna say anything very nice
[Verse 3]
Shake it down
(Ha ha ha ha ha)
Shake it down
(Ha ha ha ha ha)
Shake it down
(Ha ha ha ha ha)
Shake it down
What you like about me
What you like about me
What you like about me
What you like about me
What you like about me
What you like about me
What you like about me
What you like about me
[Chorus]
Taps always dripping
Sleeping in the daylight
Leaning out of windows
Slumlord's laughing
No one's gonna say anything very nice
