  • Who lives in a house like this?
    Who lives in a house like this?

    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 the chart to start a Third World War
    Oh if you find the time please come and stay a while
    In my beautiful neighbourhood

    At a hundred and ten 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 'cause they're all doing time

    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

    Who lives in a house like this?
    Who lives in a house like this?

    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

    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

    Who lives in a house like this?
    Who lives in a house like this?

    They want to knock us down 'cause 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'd better come prepared 'cause they won't take us alive

    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 Writer/s: ANDREW ANTHONY PARLE, FRANCIS GRIFFITHS, JAMES DESMOND EDWARDS, THOMAS SCOTT
