Nathan's Loft Songtext
von The Hoosiers

The rescue team report one casualty at No. 16 Terrence Road
The excavated site unduly spic and span, as it was ever so
There was no wrecking ball, no sign of dynamite
No evidence at all of foul play
There simply came a day when poor old
Nathan's loft
Came tumbling down upon him
Crumpling beneath the weight of years of lofty expectation


He spent his days collecting endless possibilities, he kept them safe
Locked in the loft they slept waiting till the day he'd call them to his aid
No sign of disrepair, no not the slightest tear
In the fabric of the showroom house that lay beneath
Imagine disbelief when poor old
Nathan's loft
Came tumbling down upon him
Crumpled underneath the weight of years of lofty expectation
Nathan's loft came tumbling down upon him
He lost it all despite an overwhelming sense of preservation

Nathan's loft
