Now we're gonna do a song called "Neighbourhood Threat"
Thank you
Merci bien
I wish I was lucky enough to be Parisian
ย
Down where your paint is cracking
Look down your backstairs, buddy
Somebody living there and
He don't really feel the weather
And he don't share your pleasures
No, he don't share your pleasures
Did you see his eyes?
Did you see his crazy eyes?
And you're so surprised he doesn't run to catch your ash
Everybody always wants to kiss your ass
And you can't help him, no one can
And now that he knows there's nothing to get
Will you still place your bet
Against the neighbourhood threat?
ย
Somewhere a baby's feeding
Somewhere a mother's needing
Outside her boy is trying
But mostly he is crying
Did you see his eyes?
Did you see his crazy eyes?
You're so surprised he doesn't run to catch your ash
Everybody always wants to kiss your ass
If you can't help him, no one can
And now that he knows there's nothing to get
Not in this place, not in your face
Will you still place your bet
Against the neighbourhood threat?
ย
And now that he knows there's nothing to get
There's nothing to get
There's nothing to get
There's nothing to get
Will you still place your bet
Against the neighbourhood threat?
ย
And now that he knows there's nothing he could get
ย
