Strum
D-DU-UDU
 There's  a crack up in the ceiling
 And  the kitchen sink is leaking
 Out  of work and got no money
 A  Sunday jam of bread and honey
 What  are we living for?  Two  roomed apartment on the second  floor?
 No  money comin' in,  the  rent collector's knockin' trying  to get in
 We  are strictly second class, we don't  understand
 Dead  end! Why we  should be in dead  end street
 Dead  end! People  are livin' in dead  end street
 Dead  end! I'm gonna  die in 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 livin' 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 have to work so hard, we can't  get the chance
 Dead  end! People  live on dead  end street
 Dead  end! People  are dyin' on dead  end street
 Dead  end! I'm gonna  die on dead  end street
 Dead  end street  (yeah!) Dead  end street (yeah!)
 Dead end! People live on dead end street
 Dead end! People are dyin' on dead end street
 Dead end! I'm 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 ...
