《Psycho Street》歌词

[00:00:00] Psycho Street - Richard Thompson

[00:00:18] A man sits down to write a letter

[00:00:20] But instead he writes a book

[00:00:21] The book begins

[00:00:22] Dear Sir I don't if you're interested but you're wife is a whore

[00:00:30] A man gets on a train and proceeds to take all his clothes off

[00:00:34] He begins to play with himself and he says

[00:00:37] "In my country this is definitely not offensive"

[00:00:43] A man pours petrol through his neighbour's letterbox

[00:00:46] And throws in a match

[00:00:47] The house is engulfed in flames

[00:00:49] As the neighbours jump from the upstairs window

[00:00:51] He films the whole thing on video

[00:00:54] He plays it back to them later in hospital

[00:00:56] "Things have been pretty dull at home without you" he says

[00:01:03] A man pushes a lawn mower two hundred miles on his knees

[00:01:06] To the tomb of the unknown gardener

[00:01:08] "Great one" he cries "I've done my penance I bring my offering

[00:01:13] Grant me grant me grant me pest-free roses"

[00:01:25] Psycho Street friendly people down on Psycho Street

[00:01:31] Good neighbours down on Psycho Street

[00:01:35] And if you need a hand need a friend we understand

[00:01:42] And if you need a pal we'll be there anyhow

[00:02:07] A man stakes his neighbour's cat to the barbecue and turns on the gas

[00:02:11] "Now are you going to talk" he says

[00:02:13] "Or am I going to have to get nasty "

[00:02:18] A man has an inflatable doll made

[00:02:20] That looks exactly like his wife

[00:02:22] He murders his wife dissolves her body in acid

[00:02:25] And marries the doll

[00:02:26] Three years later he leaves her for another doll

[00:02:33] A man hands his son a brick and says

[00:02:35] "Son throw this brick through the greenhouse next door"

[00:02:38] The boy does

[00:02:39] The boy next door throws one back

[00:02:41] It hits the man on the head and mortally wounds him

[00:02:43] "Ah well" he says as his life blood trickles away

[00:02:47] "Boys will be boys"

[00:02:51] A thoughtful woman sends her best friend a parcel

[00:02:54] Inside it says is a free sample full body beauty treatment

[00:02:59] But really it contains acids and chemicals

[00:03:02] When her friend tries it her hair falls out

[00:03:04] Her face is wrinkled and her body scarred

[00:03:08] The thoughtful woman turns to her husband and winks

[00:03:11] And says "Pre-emptive strike"
