Vom Vorton - Broken Glass In The Thoroughfare Lyrics

Was this the work of hoodlums, or was it ne'erdowells?
How could such vandalism fall within earshot of church bells?
These are dark times for the village, and darker times for you
If you continue to be the instigator of hullabaloo

Do you have a brush, for sweeping? Or a dustpan for the shards?
Did you not know there was a clean-up operation on the cards?

Don't you know the rules?
Do you even care?
There's no broken glass in the thoroughfare!
So respect your neighbours
It's only fair
No broken glass in the thoroughfare!

They say this area is haunted, how could it not be?
They've been burying the dead here since 653
These roads will uproot themselves and pavements will un-pave
When every one of those corpses starts turning in their grave

Please don't appropriate footwear, and cut the balderdash
Lest your doorstep strewn with daggers cause a serious gash

Don't you know the rules?
Do you even care?
There's no broken glass in the thoroughfare!
So respect your neighbours
It's only fair
No broken glass in the thoroughfare!
