What's this song about?

1
It's in the order of their hedgerows
2
it's in the way their curtains open and close
3
it's in the look they give you down their nose
4
all part of decency's jigsaw I suppose
5
Heard the neighbour slam his car door
6
don't he realise this is respectable street
7
What d'you think he bought that car for
8
'cos he realise this is respectable street
9
Now they talk about abortion
10
in cosmopolitan proportions to their daughters
11
as they speak of contraception
12
And immaculate receptions on their portable
13
Sony entertainment centres.
14
Now she speaks about diseases
15
and which sex position pleases best her old man
16
Avon lady fills the creases
17
when she manages to squeeze in past the caravans
18
that never move from their front gardens.
19
It's in the order of their hedgerows
20
it's in the way their curtains open and close
21
it's in the look they give you down their nose
22
all part of decency's jigsaw I suppose
23
Sunday church and they look fetching
24
Saturday night saw him retching over our fence
25
bang the wall for me to turn down
26
I can see them with their stern frown
27
as they dispense the kind of look that says
28
they're perfect.
