Winter coming
Winter push on
(push on)

Oh, winter push on

Winter is so long

Winter moves on

The last night on Maudlin Street

Goodbye house, goodbye stairs
I was born here
And I was raised here, and

...I took some stick here

Love at first sight

It may sound trite
But it's true, you know
I could list the detail

Of everything you ever wore or said
Or how you stood the day
As we spent the last night

On Maudlin Street
"Goodbye house, forever!"
I never stole a happy hour

Around here

Where the world's ugliest boy

Became what you see
Here I am - the ugliest man
Oh, the last night on Maudlin Street

Truly I do love you
Oh, truly I do love you


When I sleep
With that picture of you framed beside my bed
Oh, it's childish and it's silly

But I think it's you in my room, by the bed
(...yes, I told you it was silly...)


And I know
I took strange pills
But I never meant to hurt you

Oh, truly I love you
Came home late one night
Everyone had gone to bed

But, you know
No-one stays up for you
I had sixteen stitches

All around my head

Oh, the last bus I missed to Maudlin Street

So he drove me home in the Van
Complaining, "Women only like me for my mind..."
Don't leave your torch behind

A powercut ahead; 1972, you know

And so we crept through the park

No, I cannot steal a pair of jeans off a clothesline
For you
But you ... without clothes

Oh, I could not keep a straight face
Me - without clothes ?
Well, a nation turns its back and gags...

I'm packed

I am moving house

A half-life disappears today
With "every hag waves me on"
(secretly wishing me gone)

Well, I will be soon
Ooh, I will be soon
I will be soon

I will be soon
Will be soon, I will be soon
Mmm ... I will be soon, I will be soon


There were bad times on Maudlin Street
They took you away in a police car
Inspector - don't you know ?
Don't you care ?

Don't you know - about Love ?

Your gran died
And your mother died
On Maudlin Street

In pain, and ashamed
With never time to say
those special things ... oh
I took the key from Maudlin Street
Well, it's only bricks and mortar !

Oh, oh, truly I love you
Oh, wherever you are
Wherever you are
Wherever you are
I hope you're singing now

Oh, I do hope
I hope you're singing now
Oh ...
