King George Street Lyrics - Squeeze

She left in the middle of the night with the kids 

Wrapped in a blanket with a packet of crisps 

Heading for her mother's on another estate 

The kids looked up at the light and the rain 

In the middle of the night 

Such adventures made 

For two little kids 

Staying up late 

It was rainy and windy 

As winter was bleak 

At four in the morning on King George Street

She couldn't get to sleep, where on earth had he gone? 

The door opened wide and the light went on 

He was drunk as a lord with a tyre marked hat 

Falling in the hall on top of the cat 

Singing viva espana 

To a crying wife 

He took a swing at the shade 

On the light 

They were knocking on the door 

Dressed like refugees 

In the pouring rain on King George Street 

She won't have that behavior 

In her house anymore 

He's got to sober up or get kicked out of the door 

Down on the corner, the kids at his feet 

As Daddy comes home on King George Street 

As Daddy comes home 

Photos 

They stood around the kettle and watched as it brewed 

Sneezing into hankies hands all blue 

The next evening he came around to the house 

With a bunch of flowers; they locked him out 

He peered through the window 

Mouthed words in the air 

Her lips to a cup 

She saw him out there 

The kids came running 

But were they happy to see 

Their Daddy back home on King George Street? 

Their Daddy back home on King George Street.
