Who lives in a house like this?
Who lives in a house like this?

In number 69 there lives a transvestite
He’s a man by day but he’s a woman at night
There’s a man in number 4 who swears he’s Saddam Hussein
Says he’s on the chart to start a third world war
Ohhhhh if you find the time please come and stay a while
In my beautiful neighbourhood

At a hundred and ten they haven’t paid the rent
So there goes the T.V. with the repo men
In 999 they make a living from crime
The house is always empty ‘cause they’re all doing time

Ohhhh if you find the time please come and stay a while
In my beautiful neighbourhood, my neighbourhood
My, my, my beautiful neighbourhood, my neighbourhood
My, my, my beautiful neighbourhood

Who lives in a house like this ?
Who lives in a house like this ?

In number 18 there lives a big butch queen
He’s bigger than Tyson and he’s twice as mean
In 666 there lives a Mister Miller
He’s our local vicar and a serial killer

Ohhhh if you find the time please come and stay a while
In my beautiful neighbourhood, my neighbourhood
My, my, my beautiful neighbourhood, my neighbourhood
My, my, my beautiful neighbourhood

Who lives in a house like a this ? (Who lives here man?)
Who lives in a house like this ?

They want to knock us down ‘cause they think we’re scum
But we will all be waiting when the bulldozers come
In a neighbourhood like this you know it’s hard to survive
So you’d better come prepared ‘cause they won’t take us alive

Ohhhh if you find the time please come and stay a while
In my beautiful neighbourhood, my neighbourhood
My, my, my beautiful neighbourhood, my neighbourhood
My, my, my beautiful neighbourhood

The theme lends itself quite well to shooting new stuff rather than submitting existing photos. I've had a couple of ideas, but haven't quite got round to going out with my camera yet
