House For Sale - Nick Lowe

House for sale

I’m moving out

I’m moving on

This bird has flown

House for sale

I’ll tell you where to redirect my mail

House for sale

Take a look inside

This is where love

Once did reside

But now it’s gone

And that’s the reason I’ll be traveling on

Well the roof has given in to the weather

And the windows rattle and moan

Paint is peeling, cracks in the ceiling

Whatever’s happened to my happy home

House for sale

I’ve had enough

I’ll send a van to get my stuff

House for sale

I’m leaving like I’m getting out of jail

Do do, do do, who who who who

Do do do do do, do do do do do

The stairs are alarmingly shaky

And the carpet threadbare and worn

Fence needs mending

Garden needs tending

How soon it’s become overgrown

Oh house for sale

I’ve had enough

I’ll send a van to pick up my stuff

House for sale

I’m leaving like I’m getting out of jail

I’m leaving like I’m getting out of jail

House for sale

I’m talking to you

Because with time, care, cash

Peace, love and understanding

It can be as good as new
