[00:19.65]Far from crazy pavements
[00:23.40]The taste of silver spoons
[00:27.18]A clinical arrangement
[00:30.06]On a dirty afternoon
[00:33.45]Where the fecal germs of Mr Freud
[00:37.86]Are rendered obsolete
[00:40.92]The legal term is null and void
[00:44.16]In the case of Beasley Street
[00:47.94]In the cheap seats where murder breeds
[00:51.33]Somebody is out of breath
[00:55.32]Sleep is a luxury they don't need
[00:58.47]A sneak preview of death
[01:03.03]Belladonna is your flower
[01:06.54]Manslaughter your meat
[01:09.96]Spend a year in a couple of hours
[01:12.84]On the edge of Beasley Street
[01:17.25]Where the action isn't
[01:20.82]That's where it is
[01:22.23]State your position
[01:27.93]Vacancies exist
[01:30.72]In an X-certificate exercise
[01:34.32]Ex-servicemen excrete
[01:37.77]Keith Joseph smiles and a baby dies
[01:41.43]In a box on Beasley Street
[01:44.91]From the boarding houses and the bedsits
[01:48.09]Full of accidents and fleas
[01:52.89]Somebody gets it
[01:55.56]Where the missing persons freeze
[02:00.06]Wearing dead men's overcoats
[02:03.45]You can't see their feet
[02:06.69]A riff joint shuts opens up
[02:09.72]Right down on Beasley Street
[02:14.25]Cars collide, colors clash
[02:17.70]Disaster movie stuff
[02:20.76]For a man with a Fu Manchu mustache
[02:24.81]Revenge is not enough
[02:27.69]There's a dead canary on a swivel seat
[02:31.20]There's a rainbow in the road
[02:35.64]Meanwhile on Beasley Street
[02:38.61]Silence is the code
[02:49.95]Hot beneath the collar
[02:53.46]An inspector calls
[02:56.22]Where the perishing stink of squalor
[03:00.60]Impregnates the walls
[03:03.63]The rats have all got rickets
[03:07.02]They spit through broken teeth
[03:10.74]The name of the game is not cricket
[03:14.04]Caught out on Beasley Street
[03:18.36]The hipster and his hired hat
[03:22.14]Drive a borrowed car
[03:25.62]Yellow socks and a pink cravat
[03:28.05]Nothing la-di-dah
[03:36.00]OAP, mother to be
[03:36.33]Watch the three-piece suite
[03:39.06]When shit-stoppered drain
[03:41.16]And crocodile skis
[03:42.87]Are seen on Beasley Street
[03:46.86]The kingdom of the blind
[03:50.55]A one-eyed man is king
[03:54.24]Beauty problems are redefined
[03:57.12]The doorbells do not ring
[04:00.81]A light bulb bursts like a blister
[04:04.74]The only form of heat
[04:07.59]Here a fellow sells his sister
[04:11.16]Down the river on Beasley Street
[04:15.45]The boys are on the wagon
[04:18.96]The girls are on the shelf
[04:23.22]Their common problem is
[04:25.62]That they're not someone else
[04:29.88]The dirt blows out
[04:31.08]The dust blows in
[04:32.52]You can't keep it neat
[04:36.30]It's a fully furnished dustbin
[04:40.08]Sixteen Beasley Street
[04:42.45]Vince the aging savage
[04:47.52]Betrays no kind of life
[04:50.46]But the smell of yesterday's cabbage
[04:53.88]And the ghost of last year's wife
[04:57.54]Through a constant haze
[04:59.46]Of deodorant sprays
[05:02.10]He says retreat
[05:03.69]Alsatians dog the dirty days
[05:08.19]Down the middle of Beasley Street
[05:12.57]People turn to poison
[05:14.91]Quick as lager turns to piss
[05:19.80]Sweethearts are physically sick
[05:23.31]Every time they kiss
[05:26.16]It's a sociologist's paradise
[05:30.57]Each day repeats
[05:33.51]On easy, cheesy, greasy, queasy
[05:37.14]Beastly Beasley Street
[05:41.28]Eyes dead as vicious fish
[05:44.88]Look around for laughs
[05:48.27]If I could have just one wish
[05:51.03]I would be a photograph
[05:55.20]On a permanent Monday morning
[05:58.23]Get lost or fall asleep
[06:01.77]When the yellow cats are yawning
[06:05.19]Around the back of Beasley Street
