Lyrics:

There's a crack up in the ceiling,

And the kitchen sink is leaking.

Out of work and got no money,

A Sunday joint of bread and honey.

What are we living for?

Two-roomed apartment on the second floor.

No money coming in,

The rent collector's knocking, trying to get in.

We are strictly second class,

We don't understand,

(Dead end!)

Why we should be on dead end street.

(Dead end!)

People are living on dead end street.

(Dead end!)

Gonna die on dead end street.

refrain:

Dead end street (yeah)

Dead end street (yeah)

On a cold and frosty morning,

Wipe my eyes and stop me yawning.

And my feet are nearly frozen,

Boil the tea and put some toast on.

What are we living for?

Two-roomed apartment on the second floor.

No chance to emigrate,

I'm deep in debt and now it's much too late.

We both want to work so hard,

We can't get the chance,

(Dead end!)

People live on dead end street.

(Dead end!)

People are dying on dead end street.

(Dead end!)

Gonna die on dead end street.

refrain

(Dead end!)

People live on dead end street.

(Dead end!)

People are dying on dead end street.

(Dead end!)

Gonna die on dead end street.

Dead end street (yeah) (3x)

Head to my feet (yeah)

Dead end street (yeah) (3x)

How's it feel? (yeah)

How's it feel? (yeah)

Dead end street (yeah)

Dead end street (yeah)

My dad told me this song went nowhere in America, but I like that "all is doomed" music which goes perfect with the lyrics. I mean, who couldn't identify with this except the elite?

In America, the middle class IS the working class.

A bit wrong to use the cover of the face to face album to this song when it not appears on the album.

Played slowly it's a classic kinks style. Played fast it was one of the earliest punk rock songs. Try the original 'music video' version on youtube.

Right up there with the best of The Beatles, The Stones & The Who.....don't let anyone try to convince you this band were second runners. They were the real thing. Tons of great tracks, brilliant writing & playing. This track, "Big Black Smoke" "Sunny Afternoon" "Polly" "Autumn Almanac" "Two Sisters" "Waterloo Sunset" "A Well Respected Man" "Days" & classic rockers "All Day All Night" "Tired of Waiting For You" & "You really Got Me." And later? Later? "Shangri La" "Lola" & "Victoria." Damn.
