There's a crack up in the ceiling

And the kitchen sink is leaking

Out of work and got no money

A Sunday joint of bread and honey

What are we living for

Two-roomed apartment

On the second floor

No money coming in

The rent collector's knocking

Trying to get in

We are strictly second class

We don't understand

Dead end )

Why we should be on dead end street

Dead end )

People are living on dead end street

Dead end )

Gonna die on dead end street

Dead end street yeah)

Dead end street yeah)

On a cold and frosty morning

Wipe my eyes and stop me yawning

And my feet are nearly frozen

Boil the tea and put some toast on

What are we living for

Two-roomed apartment

On the second floor

No chance to emigrate

I'm deep in debt

And now it's much too late

We both want to work so hard

We can't get the chance

Dead end )

People live on dead end street

Dead end )

People are dying on dead end street

Dead end )

Gonna die on dead end street

Dead end street yeah)

Dead end street yeah)

Dead end )

People live on dead end street

People are dying on dead end street

Dead end )

Gonna die on dead end street

Dead end street yeah)

Dead end street yeah)

Dead end street yeah)

Head to my feet yeah)

Dead end street yeah)

Dead end street yeah)

How's it feel yeah)
