This is a wretched street
In the sixties it was quite neat
Now recession’s got them beat
So they stay behind their doors
This is a wretched street
People walking, drag their feet
In the cold or in the heat
They stay behind their doors
And there’s nothing to leave for
This is a wretched street
These are wretched times
The sun unfolds
But it never shines
Nothing else to do all day but drink and fight
The commies on the corner put the world to rights
And the anarchists are crazy but I think I might
Join them, na na na na na na na na na na
This is a wretched street
From the window hear them scream
Less room for you to dream
With a giro overlord
This is a wretched street
All the kids look really mean
Must be hell being seventeen
Must drive you out your gourd
Seventeen and bored
This is a wretched street
These are wretched times
The sun unfolds
But it never shines
Nothing else to do all day but drink and fight
The commies on the corner put the world to rights
And the anarchists are crazy but I think I might just
Join them, na na na na na na na na na na na
Yeah, wretched street, na na na na na na na na na na na
A wretched street, yeah, wretched street
