Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On Jubilee Street
There was a girl named Bea
She had a history
But she had no past
When they shut her down
The Russians moved in
Now I'm too scared
I'm too scared
To even walk on past
She used to say :
« All those good people down on Jubilee Street
They ought to practice what they preach
Here they ought to practice just what they preach
Those good people on Jubilee Street »
And here I come
Up the hill
I'm pushing my own wheel of love
I got love in my tummy and a tiny little pain
And a ten ton catastrophe on a sixty pound chain
And I'm pushing
My wheel of love
On Jubilee Street
Ah, look at me now
[Verse 2]
The problem was
She had a little black book
And my name
Was written
On every page
Well, a girl's gotta make ends meet
Even down on Jubilee Street
I was out of place and time
And over the hill
And out of my mind
On Jubilee Street
I ought to practice what I preach
These days, I go downtown
In my tie and tails
I got a fetus
On a leash
I am alone now
I am beyond recriminations
The curtains are shut
The furniture is gone
I'm transforming
I'm vibrating
I'm glowing
I'm flying
Look at me now
I'm flying
Look at me now
