Victorian Slumhouse Songtext
von Ratboys

There was a Victorian Slum House
On the corner, by the Tesco parking lot
Eyes wide with fascination
As the dump trucks unloaded
Three tons of mud
For the show
Looking back now
Where did it go?


They held a casting call for volunteers
Which one will be the first to cry?
Locked in 20 people
Then half a dozen camera crews
They filmed at night
Watched ′em stir
Waking up to get to work

But, they're running so far behind
All the time

Key light from the corner
When the family comes to pay their weekly rent
Watch it back, we got the take
Now break the set

But, it′s hard to control the lines
With hands shaking by design
Cross your heart
We promise you'll be fine
Until next time
