    Story Behind the Song
    A ten minute job-waking up with it all hitting you like a bolt out of the blue.

    Lyrics
    Berkeley Rd.

    Little Walter sits alone in his kitchen
    eating dinner at 7:02
    Constant source of nasty emanations
    waiting his turn to be fed from a tube
    For forty years he sold the skin of dead animals
    to the ladies who drink tea at four
    Had a girl once who ran out on her promise
    now he doesn’t have a woman anymore

    Want to say how you doing
    Whole life’s not a ruin
    Beauty to behold here on Berkeley Rd.

    Walter looks at life through tattered curtains,
    web of dreams twisted long ago
    Forty years of staring at those four walls
    stained yellow by tears and tobacco
    Want to show him life through my eyes,
    a world of endless possibility
    Wisdom lives in the land just past the lies
    but he’s way to frightened to see…

    Hummingbirds in his tree
    whole world is green
    Miracles unfold here on Berkeley Rd.

    They buried Little Walter on All Saints’ Day
    Had a funeral but I didn’t go
    Joins the ranks of Margaret and Big Wally
    former residents of Berkeley Rd.

    So you can live your life bellyaching
    Rub that salt on that hole in your soul
    or you can look for the smallest opportunity
    starting on your own Berkeley Rd.
