[00:16.32] It's in the order of their hedgerows
[00:17.22] it's in the way their curtains open and close
[00:20.49] it's in the look they give you down their nose
[00:24.00] all part of decency's jigsaw I suppose
[00:25.02] Heard the neighbour slam his car door
[00:25.89] don't he realise this is respectable street
[00:27.03] What d'you think he bought that car for
[00:27.78] 'cos he realise this is respectable street
[00:32.61] Now they talk about abortion
[00:34.92] in cosmopolitan proportions to their daughters
[00:42.60] as they speak of contraception
[00:46.29] And immaculate receptions on their portable
[00:54.72] Sony entertainment centres.
[01:08.94] Now she speaks about diseases
[01:12.78] and which *** position pleases best her old man
[01:15.24] Avon lady fills the creases
[01:24.00] when she manages to squeeze in past the caravans
[01:29.31] that never move from their front gardens.
[01:46.59] It's in the order of their hedgerows
[01:47.40] it's in the way their curtains open and close
[01:54.69] it's in the look they give you down their nose
[01:58.32] all part of decency's jigsaw I suppose
[01:59.91] Sunday church and they look fetching
[02:20.61] Saturday night saw him retching over our fence
[02:28.83] bang the wall for me to turn down
[02:31.92] I can see them with their stern frown
[02:51.78] as they dispense the kind of look that says
[02:55.41] they're perfect.
