Rochdale House Lyrics by Thrashing Doves

Bedrock Vice

0

When she left her father's house last summer
I'd been out of town a while
I was trying to make me some kind of a living
But that's never been my style
So I went back to look for her
And I found her in a fix
A middle-class kid in a tenement block
Juggling the hepatitis risk
Yeah, whoo!
Now she can't see the spaces the needle created
Shut it down, oh, shut it down
Close the house and tear yourself away, I hope
Well, I met Damien and he was a gas
Daddy's little lowlife yarn
Selling his arse to the business man
For the price of a shot in the arm
The rest of her friends were unreachable
They were staring at the wall
She was trying to tell me it's something deep
But they reminded me of worms the way they crawled
Yeah, whoo!
Now there ain't no sense in grieving
About the money she's been stealing
Shut it down, oh, shut it down
Close the house and tear yourself away
Ah, she had her lovers and I had mine
It was the only way that it could last
But we always had time for a night together
But that's all in the past
I know her better than anyone
She had a prfect perception of me
But if I hang around here much longer, baby
I'll be wearing my heart down around her feet
Oh, whoo!
Now there ain't no sense in grieving
About the money she's been stealing
Shut it down, oh, shut it down
Close the house and tear yourself away, oh
Ooh, shut it down
Close the house and tear youself away
I hope, shut it down
Whoo!
Come on, now, shut it down
Yeah
Whoo!
It's not too long
You shut it down, oh
You shut it down, whoo!
C'mon, baby!
You shut it down, yeah
You shut it down
C'mon, baby, c'mon, baby!
