Houseplants - Squid

Kids are getting smarter but the rent ain’t getting cheaper

Zeitgeist operation and the skin is getting pinker

Houseplants in my future, houseplants to disguise

There’s a rotten cesspit, fear in your eyes

Rotten cesspit, fear in your eyes

Houseplants, houseplants

We speak about our days, yeah, we speak about a raise

Everybody’s bored, we’re just too afraid to say

Houseplants in my future, houseplants to disguise

There’s a rotten cesspit, fear in your eyes

Rotten cesspit, fear in your eyes

Rotten cesspit, fear in your eyes

Ooh

Houseplants, houseplants

Houseplants, houseplants

Houseplants, houseplants

Kids are getting smarter but the rent ain’t getting cheaper

Zeitgeist operation and the skin is getting pinker

Houseplants, houseplants

We speak about our days, yeah, we speak about a raise

Everybody’s bored, we’re just too afraid to say

Houseplants, houseplants

We squeeze it at night, oh, we squeeze it so tight

We squeeze it at night and it’s getting so tight

Houseplants, houseplants

Garden centre saviour

, decoration ain’t behaviour

Garden centre saviour, decoration ain’t behaviour

Garden centre saviour, decoration ain’t behaviour

Garden centre saviour, garden centre saviour

Garden centre saviour, oh, garden centre saviour

Garden centre saviour, garden centre saviour

Garden centre saviour, garden centre saviour!

Houseplants, houseplants

Houseplants, houseplants

Houseplants

And I find myself looking for a future that doesn’t exist

This is my beautiful house and I can’t afford to live in it

Money through the

back tunnel

1970s war picture living

Children’s television

We’re still Making Plans for Nigel

Middle England

General conversation in a sympathetic tone

Trips to B&Q with your other half

This is how the other half lives

Green fingers

My friends have new meanings

Career driven

Guided by oxygen

Or maybe I’m just lazy
