Lyrics
I heard a whisper
There's somebody new
On the road that we all know so well
Maybe I've seen her
Perhaps it's the cleaner
It's not always easy to tell
She lives at the end of the street
And she's always in second hand clothes
She'll sweep you up of your feet
Where you end up nobody knows
And if you're free
She'll ask you to tea
And laugh at your jokes
While she has a smoke
She'll dance round the room
In the late afternoon
She's not like regular folk
She lives at the end of the street
And she's always in second hand clothes
She'll sweep you up of your feet
Where you end up nobody knows
So be on your guard
Just sit tight
She's got a dog in the yard
It might just bite
I heard a rumour
It's just so peculiar
They say she's leaving today
She's moving back east
To live with a priest
And nothing will get in her way
She lived at the end of the street
And she always wore second hand clothes
She's sweep you up off your feet
Where you end up nobody knows
Nobody knows
