No Thugs In Our House Lyrics - English Settlement - Xtc

The insect-headed worker-wife will hang her waspies on the line; 

The husband burns his paper, sucks his pipe while studying their cushion-floor; 

His viscous poly-paste breath comes out, 

Their wall-paper world is shattered by his shout, 

A boy in blue is busy banging out a headache on the kitchen door 

And all the while Graham slept on, 

Dreaming of a world where he could do just what he wanted to 

No thugs in our house, are there dear? 

We made that clear, 

We made little Graham promise us he'd be a good boy 

No thugs in our house, are there dear? 

We made that clear, 

We made little Graham promise us he'd be a good boy 

The young policeman who just can't grow a mustache will open up his book, 

And spoil their breakfast with reports of Asians who have been so badly kicked 

Is this your son's wallet I've got here? 

He must have dropped it after too much beer 

Oh, officer, we can't believe our little angel is the one you've picked 

And all the while Graham slept on, 

Dreaming of a world where he could do just what he wanted to 

No thugs in our house, are there dear? 

We made that clear, 

We made little Graham promise us he'd be a good boy 

No thugs in our house, are there dear? 

We made that clear, 

We made little Graham promise us he'd be a good boy 

They never read those pamphlets in his bottom drawer, 

They never read that tattoo on his arm 

They thought that was just a boys club badge he wore, 

They never thought he'd do folks any harm 

The insect-headed worker wife will hang her waspies on the line; 

She's singing something stale and simple now this business has fizzled out; 

Her little tune is such a happy song 

Her son is innocent, he can't do wrong, 

'Cause dad's a judge and knows exactly what the job of judging's all about 

And all the while Graham slept on, 

Dreaming of a world where he could do just what he wanted to 

No thugs in our house, are there dear? 

We made that clear, 

We made little Graham promise us he'd be a good boy 

No thugs in our house, are there dear? 

We made that clear, 

We made little Graham promise us he'd be a good boy 

No thugs in our house 

No thugs in our house 

No thugs in our house, dear 

No thugs in our house 

No thugs in our house, woo 

No thugs in our house 

No thugs in our house, owh 

No thugs in our house 

No thugs in our house, woo 

No thugs in our house 

No thugs in our house, awh 

No thugs in our house
