House In The Street Songtext
von The Tetleys

There′s a house next to ours filling up a space, looks right out of place
Painted violet
There's a man in the house he drinks a lot of booze, he chews a lot of chews you know
Beneath the skylight

It takes a lot of time
It takes more than a day
To get your own way

It takes a lot of time
It takes more than a day
To get your own way

The man′s got a girl, she calls herself Shirl, she works in a mill
In the middle of town
Shirl's got a friend who's mind was on the mend, she was going ′round the bend you know
Beneath the skylight

It takes a lot of time
It takes more than a day
To get your own way


It takes a lot of time
It takes more than a day
To get your own way

House in the Street next to ours
Painted Violet
Lives a man who drinks his booze and chews his chews
Shirl′s his girl and she works in a mill in the middle of town

House in the Street next to ours
Painted Violet
Lives a man who drinks his booze and chews his chews
Shirl's his girl and she works in a mill in the middle of town

On a table in the house there′s a bowl with a hole, there's a tin with a flint, there′s a knife
And fork and a chicken
On the stairs hangs a picture looks like a Prime Minister, you know I've missed you
Beneath the skylight

It takes a lot of time
It takes more than a day
To get your own way

It takes a lot of time
It takes more than a day
To get your own way


It takes a lot of time
You know it does
It takes a lot of time
You know it does
It takes a lot of time
You know it does
It takes a lot of time
To get your own way
