  • On Jubilee Street there was a girl named Bee
    She had a history, but she had no past
    When they shut her down the Russians moved in
    I am too scared, I'm too scared to even walk on past

    She used to say
    All those good people down on Jubilee Street
    They ought to practice what they preach
    Here they are to practice just what they preach
    Those good people on Jubilee Street
    And here I come up the hill
    I'm pushing my wheel of love
    I got love in my tummy and a tiny little pain
    And a ten ton catastrophe on a sixty pound chain
    And I'm pushing my wheel of love on Jubilee Street
    Ah look at me now

    The problem was she had a little black book
    And my name was written on every page
    Well a girl's gotta make ends meet
    Even down Jubilee Street
    I was out of place and time, and over the hill, and out of my mind
    On Jubilee Street
    I ought to practice what I preach
    These days I go downtown in my tie and tails
    I got a fetus on a leash

    I am alone now, I am beyond recriminations
    Curtains are shut, the furniture is gone
    I'm transforming, I'm vibrating, I'm glowing
    I'm flying, look at me now
    I'm flying, look at me now Writer/s: Nicholas Edward Cave, Warren Ellis
