Respectable Street XTC

[Intro]
It's in the order of their hedgerows
It's in the way their curtains open and close
It's in the look they give you down their nose
All part of decency's jigsaw, I suppose

[Chorus]
Heard the neighbor slam his car door
Don't he realize this is Respectable Street?
What d'you think he bought that car for?
'Cause he realized this is Respectable Street

[Verse 1]
Now they talk about abortions
In cosmopolitan proportions to their daughters
As they speak of contraception
And immaculate receptions on their portable
Sony Entertainment Centers

[Chorus]
Heard the neighbor slam his car door
Don't he realize this is Respectable Street?
What d'you think he bought that car for?
'Cause he realized this is Respectable Street

[Verse 2]
Now she speaks about diseases
And which sex position pleases best her old man
Avon lady fills the creases
When she manages to squeeze in past the caravans
That never move from their front gardens
