Slumlord Songtext
von Baxter Dury

Taps always dripping
Sleeping in the daylight
Leaning out of windows
Slumlord laughing
No one′s gonna say anything very nice

Charm dripping like fresh honey
I'm the milky bar kid
Soiled trousers
Shiny cheekbones like graveyards in the sun
Murder shoes
Dirty eyes sizing up

Taps always dripping
Sleeping in the daylight
Leaning out of windows
Slumlord laughing
No one′s gonna say anything very nice


Unless you got nothing to say
Just don't say it
Sleepless angels have blessed us
And I'll shout you down in a slumlord way
Scary people
Saying silly shit

Taps always dripping
Sleeping in the daylight
Leaning out of windows
Slumlord laughing
No one′s gonna say anything very nice

Shake it down
(Ha ha ha ha ha)
Shake it down
(Ha ha ha ha ha)
Shake it down
(Ha ha ha ha ha)
Shake it down


What you like about me?
What you like about me?
What you like about me?
What you like about me?
What you like about me?
What you like about me?
What you like about me?
What you like about me?

Taps always dripping
Sleeping in the daylight
Leaning out of windows
Slumlord′s laughing
No one's gonna say anything very nice

Ho, ho
Ho, ho
