House On Fire

Morten Abel

The wind blows right through my house cos it's so old

The three long Winter months can really get cold

It was built by the local baker man

In the good old days

Thin walls that walks and talks to the night

Rattling and whistling and telling lies

When it's laughing it is shaking the ground

Like the whole thing is gonna come down

Got electricity and light and water running

It's all working with me and my girl

Some things needs fixing but nothing serious

Got nowhere to park so we don't own a car

So we never go that far

If I had a lighter I would put the house on fire

You'd see the flames for a hundred miles

It would light up the good neighbourhood

You could see it from the moon

You could see it from the moon

We could stand and watch the firemen

Putting it out

It's all working, firemen comes

And puts it out so we still have a house

For criminals we got, cops who get them cuffed

Sometimes it can get rough

For criminals we got, cops who get them cuffed

Sometimes it can get rough
