Jubilee Street

On Jubilee Street there was a girl named Bee

She had a history but she had no past

When they shut her down the Russians moved in

Now I'm too scared, I'm too scared to even walk on past

She used to say all those good people down on Jubilee Street

They ought to practice what they preach

Yeah they ought to practice just what they preach

Those good people on Jubilee Street

And here I come up the hill, I'm pushing my wheel of love

I got love in my tummy and a tiny little pain

And a 10 ton catastrophe on a 60 pound chain

And I'm pushing my wheel of love up Jubilee Street

Ah, look at me now

The problem was she had a little black book

And my name was written on every page

Well a girl's got to make ends meet even down on Jubilee Street

I was out of place and time and over the hill and out of my mind

On Jubilee Street

I ought to practice what I preach

These days I go downtown in my tie and tails

I got a foetus on a leash

I am alone now

I am beyond recriminations

Curtains are shut

Furniture has gone

I'm transforming

I'm vibrating

I'm glowing

I'm flying

Look at me now

I'm flying

Look at me now
