Buildings Songtext
von Comet Gain

When you walk out the door
You might not come back no more
And that′s where they had the old bingo hall
And that's the house where Eileen lived
She never left the gas, she never saw the sea
Ruins of the sadness, laughter and glee
Absence of passion, blood on the floorboards
Every building just like a bookmark
Every room a dust-covered emblem

It′s where the buildings used to be
It's where the houses used to be


It's somebody′s home
But it′s not mine now

That is the flat where Sylvia lived in
After the kids left, that's where she gave in
She left the manor, she left London
Followed the threads of her constant unravelling
The contents of life, the morbid submother
There goes a family, here comes another
Bobby′s alone, just sits in the pub now
All of his mates have gone to another

It's where the buildings used to be
It′s where the houses used to be
It's somebody′s home
But it's not mine now
