The last night on Maudlin Street | |||
Goodbye house, goodbye stairs | |||
I was born here and I was raised here | |||
And I took some stick here | |||
Love at first sight may sound trite | |||
But it's true, you know | |||
I could list the detail of everything | |||
You ever wore or said, or how you stood the day | |||
As we spent the last night on Maudlin Street, | |||
"Goodbye house-forever!" | |||
I never stole a happy hour around here | |||
Where the world's ugliest boy | |||
Became what you see - I am the ugliest man | |||
Oh, the last night on Maudlin Street | |||
Truly I do love you | |||
Oh, truly I do love you | |||
When I sleep with that picture of you framed beside my bed | |||
Oh, it's childish and it's silly, but I think it's you in my room by the bed | |||
- Yes, I told you it was silly - | |||
And I know I took strange pills | |||
But I never meant to hurt you | |||
Oh, truly I love you | |||
Came home late one night | |||
Everyone had gone to bed | |||
But you know no one stays up for you | |||
I had sixteen stitches all around my head | |||
Oh, the last bus I missed to Maudlin Street | |||
So, he drove me home in the van | |||
Complaining: | |||
"Women only like me for my mind..." | |||
Don't leave your torch behind | |||
A power-cut ahead 1972, you know | |||
And so we crept through the park | |||
No, I cannot steal a pair of jeans off a clothesline for you | |||
But you...without clothes | |||
Oh, I could not keep a straight face | |||
Me without clothes? | |||
Well, a nation turns its back and gags | |||
I'm packed | |||
I am moving house | |||
A half-life disappears today | |||
With every hag waves me on secretly wishing me gone | |||
Well, I will be soon, oh - I will be soon | |||
I will be soon | |||
I will be soon | |||
I will be soon | |||
I will be soon | |||
I will be soon | |||
I will be soon | |||
There were bad times on Maudlin Street | |||
They took you away in a police car | |||
Inspector - don't you know? Don't you care? | |||
Don't you know about Love? | |||
Your Gran died and your Mother died on Maudlin Street | |||
In pain and ashamed with never time to say those special things | |||
I took the keys from Maudlin Street | |||
Well, it's only bricks and mortar! | |||
Truly I love you | |||
Wherever you are | |||
Wherever you are | |||
Wherever you are | |||
I hope you're singing now | |||
I do hope... | |||
I hope you're singing now | |||

(Winter coming, Winter push on, push on
Winter push on, Winter, is so long, Winter move on)
The last night on Maudlin Street Goodbye house, goodbye stairs I was born here and I was raised here And I took some stick here
Love at first sight may sound trite But it's true, you know I could list the detail of everything You ever wore or said, or how you stood the day
As we spent the last night on Maudlin Street, "Goodbye house-forever!" I never stole a happy hour around here
Where the world's ugliest boy Became what you see - I am the ugliest man Oh, the last night on Maudlin Street Truly I do love you Oh, truly I do love you
When I sleep with that picture of you framed beside my bed Oh, it's childish and it's silly, but I think it's you in my room by the bed - Yes, I told you it was silly - And I know I took strange pills But I never meant to hurt you Oh, truly I love you
Came home late one night Everyone had gone to bed But you know no one stays up for you I had sixteen stitches all around my head
