Duch of the terrace never grew up
I hope she never will
Broken-down TV sits in the corner
Pictures standing still
Standing still

Duch of the terrace knows all her heritage
Says she's Henry's kid
Knows all her history in the family
Needs a man, god forbid
God forbid

And it sounds like an empty house
Standing still
And it's quieter than a mouse
Standing still

Duch of the terrace never grew up
I hope she never will
Says she's an heiress, sits in her terrace
Says she's got time to kill
Time to kill

And the Rodneys are queuing up
God forbid
And they all want to win the cup
God forbid

Duchess, duchess
Duchess, duchess
Duchess, duchess
And the Rodneys are queuing up
God forbid
And the Rodneys are queuing up
God forbid
And the Rodneys are queuing up
God forbid

the stranglers put a bit more pop in their punk with this smart single. i learnt a new word to insult the upper-classes from this song; infact this song could be said to be having a pop at the toffs by implying that the chinless "rodneys" aren't good enough for our "duch" and she should aim a bit lower.

the stranglers dressed as choirboys for the video to this song which resulted in it being banned for being blasphemous!?!
