[English]

Here's a door and here's a window

Here's a ceiling here's a floor

The room is lit like a black and white movie

The T.V's on that's what it's for

And if you walk real slowly

You can feel the planet breathe

There's no need to feel so lonely

Now that we've all learned to give

Chorus:

Accidently Kelly Street

Where friends and strangers sometimes meet

Accidently Kelly Street

I never thought life could be so sweet

In the garden birds are singing

The sun is shining on the path

The wind is talking to the flowers

And dogs and cat all take a bath

And if you stop that talking

You can hear the traffic sigh

Throw away those keys start walking

And watch those tiny things go by

(Chorus)

It's Sunday everyday

There's no need to rush around

Inside of everybody

There's sun and laughter to be found

It seems that we're on Holidays

And sleeping in is not a sin

All the house work done by tea time

And feeling good about the way I've been

Perhaps this optimism will crash on down

Like a house of cards

I know that my decision to change my life

Is not that hard

(Chorus)

Accidently, accidently,

Accidently Kelly Street I never thought life could be so sweet
