'Probably North 10th Street’ is about a whorehouse in Milton Keynes, England whose clientele were mainly the local police force, which explains why it never got busted.
lyrics
Hello, I’m calling for assistance
Somebody help me please
I saw your number in the Citizen
So put my mind at ease
Madame Jane takes the phone calls
Where it all goes down.
Today It’s all northern city girls
all from out of town.
Excuse me sir where can I cruise it?
Excuse me sir where can I choose it?
Excuse me sir where can I bruise it?
Excuse me sir where can I lose it?
Probably North 10th St. (x4)
Madame Jane said to Sugar,
‘Sugar it’s time to go.
So let me fix your hair for you, baby
before you wash and blow.’
I join the queue in the stairwell
where they keep the mops.
The man in front was on a lunch break
and all the rest were cops.
Excuse me sire where can I cruise it?
Excuse me sire where can I choose it?
Excuse me sir where can I bruise it?
Excuse me sire where can I lose it?
Probably North 10th St. (x4)
Are you ready for correction?
A shakedown if you will.
On silver walls where Madonna hung
they’ve got time to kill.
Sugar vibed vacant.
Madame Jane vibed queen.
You’ve never seen anything like it
In Central Milton Keynes
Excuse me sir where can I cruise it?
Excuse me sir where can I choose it?
Excuse me sir where can I bruise it?
Excuse me sir where can I lose it?
