The Go-betweens - On My Block lyrics

Alright... come on... no-w-w-w-w The main gate to the mansion is locked It's on my street -- on my block I went in but i got chased off The store-keeper said 'why don't the cars stop?' But the mansion's not the attraction it once was And it's on my, it's on my, on my... on my block On my block Girl i've been called names times before It happens cause it happens here And nobody said they'd ever hear The garden is unkept and in bloom There is wilderness and flowers in my room The caretakers kept to be fired soon On my block Girl i've been called names times before It happens cause it happens here And nobody said they'd ever hear The maingate -- the mansion -- is locked I'm standing on the spot And it's on my, oh my my... on my block On my block (fade)
