You said we should
look out further,
I guess it wouldn't hurt us
We don't have to be around
all these coffee shops
Now we've got that percolator,
never made a latte greater
I'm saving
twenty three dollars a week
We drive to a house in Preston,
we see police arrestin'
A man with his hand in a bag
How's that for first impressions
This place seems depressing
It's a Californian bungalow
in a cul-de-sac
It's got a lovely garden,
a garage for two cars to park in
Or a lot of room for storage
if you've just got one
And it's going pretty cheap
you say, well it's a deceased estate
Aren't the pressed
metal ceilings great
Then I see the handrail
in the shower,
a collection of those canisters
for coffee tea and flour
And a photo of a young man
in a van in Vietnam
And I can't think of floorboards
anymore, whether the front
room faces south or north
And I wonder what
she bought it for
If you've got a
spare half a million
You could knock it down
and start rebuildin'
If you've got a
spare half a million
You could knock it down
and start rebuildin'
If you've got a
spare half a million
You could knock it down
and start rebuildin'
If you've got a
spare half a million
You could knock it down
and start rebuildin'
