Story behind the song
The lyrics for this are a bit gritty, but still not really matching the harsh reality.
Lyrics
The people walking by me,
the people walking past.
They got their dirty
secrets,
they live their secret lives.
That woman in the doorway,
she
runs a "special house".
There's many foreign women,
and many men drop by.
That chap who looks so decent,
makes "a little on the side".
He trades
in "immigration",
like those women locked inside.
you see that man who's leaving
Can't do this to his wife,
he likes it when they're frightened,
he likes it when they cry.
Her terror is his turn-on,
it gives meaning to
his life.
It buys her pimp a Rolex,
and it keeps her kids alive.
The
people walking by me,
the people walking past.
They got their dirty
secrets,
I know their secret lives.
That man's just back from India.
He
bought himself a child.
He paid a little extra,
the girl had just
arrived.
He likes their fragile bodies
he likes to watch them cry.
Her
tears no longer fall,
she is no more a child.
The people walking by
me,
the people walking past.
I hear their dirty secrets,
I know their secret
lives.
I'm sitting in this doorway,
I'm hungry and I'm cold.
But I guess I
should feel lucky,
this body's still my own.
