Thrashing Doves - Rochdale House lyrics

When she left her father's house last summer I'd been out of town a while I was trying to make me some kind of a living But that's never been my style So I went back to look for her And I found her in a fix A middle-cla** kid in a tenement block Juggling the hepatitis risk Yeah, whoo! Now she can't see the spaces the needle created Shut it down, oh, shut it down Close the house and tear yourself away, I hope Well, I met Damien and he was a gas Daddy's little lowlife yarn Selling his arse to the business man For the price of a shot in the arm The rest of her friends were unreachable They were staring at the wall She was trying to tell me it's something deep But they reminded me of worms the way they crawled Yeah, whoo! Now there ain't no sense in grieving About the money she's been stealing Shut it down, oh, shut it down Close the house and tear yourself away Ah, she had her lovers and I had mine It was the only way that it could last But we always had time for a night together But that's all in the past I know her better than anyone She had a prfect perception of me But if I hang around here much longer, baby I'll be wearing my heart down around her feet Oh, whoo! Now there ain't no sense in grieving About the money she's been stealing Shut it down, oh, shut it down Close the house and tear yourself away, oh Ooh, shut it down Close the house and tear youself away I hope, shut it down Whoo! Come on, now, shut it down Yeah Whoo! It's not too long You shut it down, oh You shut it down, whoo! C'mon, baby! You shut it down, yeah You shut it down C'mon, baby, c'mon, baby!
