Richard Thompson - Psycho Street Lyrics
A man sits down to write a letter, but instead he writes a bookThe book begins, Dear Sir, I don't know if you're interested, butYour wife is a whore...A man gets on a train and proceeds to take all his clothes offHe 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 matchSoon the house isengulfed in flamesAs the neighbors jump>From the upstairs window he films the whole thing on videoHe plays it back to them later in hospitalThings have been pretty dullAt home without you, he says...A man pushes a lawnmower two hundred miles on his kneesTo the tomb of the unknown gardenerGreat One, he cries,I have done my penanceI bring my offeringGrant me-grant me-Pest-free rosesCHORUSPsycho Street, frinedly people down onPsycho Street, good neighboursDown on Psycho StreetIf you need a hand, need a friend, we understandIf you need a pal, we'll be there, any howPsycho StreetA man stakes his neighbour's ct to the barbecueAnd turns on the gasnow 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 wifeHe murders his wife, dissolves her body in acid, and marries the dollThree years later he leaves herFor another doll...A man hands his son a brick and says, son,Throw this brick through the greenhouse next doorThe boy doesThe boy next door throws one backIt hits the man on the head and mortally wounds himAh well, he says as his lifeblood trickles away,Boys will be boys...A thoughtful woman sends her best friend a parcelInside, it says, is a free sampleFull body beauty treatment, but it really contains acids and chemicallsWhen her friend tries it, her hair falls out,Her face is wrinkled and her body scarredThe thoughtful turns to her husband and winks, and says.Pre-emptive strikeCHORUS-------------------------------------------------------------------------- DON'T BLAME ME...------------------------------------------------------------------------Eric Wincentsen "Greetings from the Humungous-267@ef.gc.maricopa.edu The Lord Humungous!"Glendale Community College, -The Road Warrior Glendale, Arizona ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I DIDN'T VOTE FOR SLICK WILLY
