Villiers Terrace (1979‐08‐22) Songtext
von Echo & the Bunnymen

I′ve been up to Villiers Terrace
To see what's a-happening
There′s people rolling 'round on the carpet
Mixing up the medicine
I've been up to Villiers Terrace
I saw what′s a-happening

People rolling ′round on the carpet
Biting wool and pulling string
You said people rolled on carpet
But I never thought they'd do those things

I′ve been up to Villiers Terrace
I've been in a daze for days
I drank some of the medicine
And I didn′t like the taste
I've been up to Villiers Terrace
I′ve been in a daze for days


People rolling 'round on your carpet
Biting wool and pulling string
You said people rolled on carpet
But I never thought they'd do those things

Been up to Villiers Terrace
To see what′s a-happening
There′s people rolling 'round on the carpet
Passing ′round the medicine
Been up to Villiers Terrace
I saw what's a-happening

People rolling ′round on my carpet
Biting wool and pulling string
You said people rolled on carpet, boys
But I'd never thought they′d do those things

(Been down to Villiers Terrace)
(Been down to Villiers Terrace)

Bopsie Waddy wanna shake your money
Bopsie Waddy wanna save you money
Bopsie Waddy wanna shake your money (been down to Villiers Terrace)
Bopsie Waddy wanna shake your money (been down to Villiers Terrace)
Bopsie only wanna take your money (been down to Villiers Terrace)
Bopsie Waddy wanna take your money (been down to Villiers Terrace)
