lyrics

Windsor Street

No bunting flutters in the breeze,
no boys and girls, dressed up so neat,
with not a scratch upon their knees.
There are no flags on Windsor Street.

There are no parties in the yard,
the sandwiches will hold no meat.
They will send no greetings card
‘from the residents of Windsor Street’.

There are no beds of scented flowers,
there are no open arms to greet
crumpled masses who spend their hours
hunched in corners on Windsor Street.

There are no canapés or quince
or any kind of special treat -
just calory saturated fats since
the jobs were lost on Windsor Street.

So when the bride comes down the aisle
platitudes thrown under her feet
the folk will try to raise a smile
at injustice wrought on Windsor Street.

The cheering crowds will sing their praise,
choreographed to match the beat
of marching bands on sunny days
that won’t pierce the shadows on Windsor Street.

When the happy couple go to bed
and lay beneath their privileged sheet
not a single thought enters their heads
of the lost souls drifting on Windsor Street.

Little England has it’s sideshow
celebrities they’ll never meet -
while resentment will flourish and grow
in humble abodes on Windsor Street.
