Biography:
XTC were a rock band from Swindon, England led by Andy Partridge (guitars, vocals) and Colin Moulding (bass, vocals). Active between the late 1970s and the mid 2000s, XTC's music ranged from jerky new wave/punk riffs to lushly-arranged progressive pop. They also drew heavily from vintage pop rock and psychedelia from the 1960s, genres which they began to explore more deeply after creating The Dukes of Stratosphear side-project. While XTC failed to maintain significant commercial success after the 1980s

Respectable Street By XTC
[Intro]
B C# x 6
[Chorus]
B C# B C#
Heard the neighbor slam his car door
B C# E
Don't he realize this is Respectable Street?
B C# B C#
What d'you think he bought that car for?
B C# E
'Cause he realized this is Respectable Street
[Verse 1]
F#
Now they talk about abortion In cosmopolitan proportions to their daughters
B C#
As they speak of contraception And immaculate receptions on their portable
E
Sony Entertainment Centers
[Chorus]
B C# B C#
Heard the neighbor slam his car door
B C# E
Don't he realize this is Respectable Street?
B C# B C#
What d'you think he bought that car for?
B C# E
'Cause he realized this is Respectable Street
[Verse 2]
F#
Now she speaks about diseases And which sex position pleases best her old man
B C#
Avon lady fills the creases When she manages to squeeze in past the caravans
E
That never move from their front gardens
[Chorus]
B C# B C#
Heard the neighbor slam his car door
B C# E
Don't he realize this is Respectable Street?
B C# B C#
What d'you think he bought that car for?
B C# E
'Cause he realized this is Respectable Street
[Bridge]
A B C#m Bb
It's in the order of their hedgerows
A B C#m Bb
It's in the way their curtains open and close
A B C#m Bb
It's in the look they give you down their nose
A B C#m G
All part of decency's jigsaw, I suppose
[Solo]
Am C x2
[Verse 3]
G
Sunday church and they look fetching Saturday night, saw him retching over our fence
C D
Bang the wall for me to turn down I can see them with their stern frown as they dispense
F
The kind of look that says they're perfect
[Chorus]
