Description

I was working in a lot of jobs cleaning people’s houses and this song came to me at that time :-)

I guess I felt that I was in the role of a ‘skivvy’ just trying to get by, and how it’s the same for so many people, and the quiet struggle of just getting by that many people are in but are unnoticed.

Lyrics

SKIVVY STREET

She’s livin on Skivvy Street
It’s a treat, ya know on Skivvy Street
She’s a skivvy don’t ya know
Don’t ya know, on Skivvy Street
(Pause)
Nearly everyone she meets, is on Skivvy Street
Everyone she meets,
And all their needs she meets
Needs she meets, before her own
She feels alone

You wouldn’t think it’s going on
But it’s rollin on, rollin all around
This old town
Don’t wanna think it’s going on
The goings on, oh in this old town
Goin round and round
They don’t make a sound
(Pause)
She’s a skivvy don’t ya know
Don’t ya know, on Skivvy Street
She’s livin on Skivvy Street
It’s a treat
Ya know on Skivvy Street
Nearly everyone she meets
Is on Skivvy Street
Everyone she meets
Is on Skivvy Street
And all their needs she meets
Needs she meets, before her own
She feels alone

You wouldn’t think it’s goin on
But it’s rollin on, rollin all around
This old town
Don’t, don’t wanna think it’s going on
The goings on, oh in this old town
Goin round and round
They don’t make a sound
