Neighbourhood Lyrics
<i>Who lives in a house like this?
Who lives in a house like this?</i>
In number 69 there lives a transvestite
He's a man by day but he's a woman at night
There's a man in number 4 who swears he's Saddam Hussein
Says he's on a chore to start a third world war
Oh if you find the time
Please some and stay a while
In my beautiful Neighbourhood
In 110 they haven't paid the rent
So there goes the TV with the repo men
In 999 they make a living from crime
The house is always empty 'cos they're all doing time
Oh if you find the time
Please some and stay a while
In my beautiful Neighbourhood
My Neighbourhood
My-My-My beautiful Neighbourhood
My Neighbourhood
My-My-My beautiful Neighbourhood
<i>Who lives in a house like this?
Who lives in a house like this?</i>
In number 18 there lives a big butch queen
He's bigger than Tyson and he's twice as mean
In 666 there lives a Mr Miller
He's a local Vicar and a serial killer
Oh if you find the time
Please some and stay a while
In my beautiful Neighbourhood
My Neighbourhood
My-My-My beautiful Neighbourhood
My Neighbourhood
My-My-My beautiful Neighbourhood.
<i>Who lives in a house like this?
Who lives in a house like this?</i>
Oh they want to knock us down 'cos they think we're scum
But we will all be waiting when the bulldozers come
In a neighbourhood like this you know it's hard to survive
So you'd better come prepared 'cos they won't take us alive
Oh if you find the time
Please some and stay a while
In my beautiful Neighbourhood
My Neighbourhood
My-My-My beautiful Neighbourhood
My Neighbourhood
My-My-My beautiful Neighbourhood.

I think that what Tommy is saying in here, is basically, there's two sides to every story, that what someone thinks of as ugly, someone else thinks is beautiful, and that even though society (I think that's what he's getting at) is dysfunctional, it can be beautiful. What does everyone else think?
i can't really see a hidden meaning behind this. it's just told like a storybook. anyways, that's what i think...
i would have to agree with 'nutty dolphin' but i never really thought that deep into the meaning before.. it always seemed like 'yea, it's space, and there must be soem meaning to it, and it shouldn't be too hard to figure out' but even more, it was like 'damn these lyrics are fucked up, i can't think about this too hard..'
This is about the more 'colourful' areas of Liverpool and no matter what the outside view of them is they are still part of this beautiful city's wonderful vibrant character...
Pretty sure it was about the tough, run-downWalton area of liverpool and spending some of his childhood there
cool song
Yeah, it's about any rough and tumble inner city area - I live in one that's actually not nearly as bad as some people think - Longsight, Manchester, if anyone knows it! Outsiders may think that everyone there's lowlife, but it's not true.
Anyone out there from Brighton? I used to know Whitehawk and Moulsecoomb estates, as rough as they come, and yet some really great people as well. Respect to all that live in places society treats as rubbish tips, and yet still live with dignity.
