"Victorian Slumhouse" lyrics
There was a Victorian Slum House
On the corner, by the Tesco parking lot
Eyes wide with fascination
As the dump trucks unloaded three tons of mud
For the show, looking back now, where did it go?
They held a casting call for volunteers
Which one will be the first to cry?
Locked in 20 people, then half a dozen camera crews, they filmed at night
Watched 'em stir, waking up to get to work
But, they're running so far behind
All the time
Key light from the corner
When the family comes to pay their weekly rent
Watch it back, we got the take
Now break the set
But, it's hard to control the lines
With hands shaking by design
Cross your heart, we promise you'll be fine
Until next time
On the corner, by the Tesco parking lot
Eyes wide with fascination
As the dump trucks unloaded three tons of mud
For the show, looking back now, where did it go?
They held a casting call for volunteers
Which one will be the first to cry?
Locked in 20 people, then half a dozen camera crews, they filmed at night
Watched 'em stir, waking up to get to work
But, they're running so far behind
All the time
Key light from the corner
When the family comes to pay their weekly rent
Watch it back, we got the take
Now break the set
But, it's hard to control the lines
With hands shaking by design
Cross your heart, we promise you'll be fine
Until next time
