The Go-Betweens - On My Block lyrics

alright... come on... no-w-w-w-w

the main gate to the mansion is locked

it's on my street -- on my block

I went in but I got chased off

the store-keeper said 'why don't the cars stop?'

but the mansion's not the attraction it once was

and it's on my, it's on my, on my... on my block

on my block

girl I've been called names times before

it happens cause it happens here

and nobody said they'd ever hear

the garden is unkept and in bloom

there is wilderness and flowers in my room

the caretakers kept to be fired soon

on my block

girl I've been called names times before

it happens cause it happens here

and nobody said they'd ever hear

the maingate -- the mansion -- is locked

I'm standing on the spot

and it's on my, oh my my... on my block

on my block (fade)
