Jubilee Road

[Verse 1] It's a late Friday night The street lamps are shining Up in my bedroom There's a mighty big fight Between the thunder and lightning Wonder who will lose I see a party balloon And I ain't been invited Hey, look at that moon There ain't nothing like it All grey and gold Down on Jubilee Road [Verse 2] Can see Mr. Bouvier In his two-bedroom basement In his purple dungarees He's grumpy and he's grey Always sweeping off the pavement Cigarettes and leaves His kid's up in China His wife's up in Heaven Always I wave 'Cause he's got this expression That he's so alone Down on Jubilee Road [Chorus] Oh, I think tomorrow night I will knock on his door and hear all about his life 'Cause I think that's the kind of thing that I might like When I'm old When I'm old [Verse 3] There's Max and there's Maude In the house by the station Call them my best friends He drinks like a horse She don't appreciate it All this money he seems to spend I can hear them tonight He can't find no vocation The neighbours they sigh At that new generation Just getting stoned Down on Jubilee Road [Chorus] Oh, I think in the summertime I will call you up, make everything alright And we'll fill up our cups with that bitter wine And I'll show you I'll show you [Verse 4] The mice are still here Your wardrobe's still empty And the walls are still paper thin And the neighbours, my dear I think they still hate me For all these songs I endlessly sing 'Cause it ain't no perfect street I ain't no perfect lover Life it is brief I don't think we get no other Come back home Down on Jubilee Road Down on Jubilee Road
