She lives with her mum on Juliet Street
She works in a library
Remembers the summer of '76
Like it was yesterday
The lawn turned brown, the sun fell down
Withered the flowers
All in a row, bending low
As the afternoon wore on
And as the afternoon wore on
Clouds gathered in
In the library gloom she hums a tune
From the old days
Can you recall the name of the girl
Who sang like a sparrow?
She played on her own in the twilight glow
Of a fading Empire's dream
And as the rain settled in
Shadows moved around
In the library gloom she hums a tune
From the olden days
They sold the old house on Juliet Street
For an untold sum
They knocked it down and on the waste ground
Weeds grow
All in a row
