House for sale
I'm moving out
I'm moving on
This bird has flown
House for sale
I'll tell you where to redirect my mail
House for sale
Take a look in-side
This is where love
Once did re-side
But now it's gone
And that's the reason I'll be travelling on
Well the roof has given in to the weather
And the windows rattle and moan
Paint is peeling cracks in the ceiling
Whatever's happened to my happy home
House for sale
I've had enough
I'll send a van
To get my stuff
House for sale
I'm leaving like I'm getting out of jail
The stairs are alarmingly shaky
And the carpet threadbare and worn
Fence needs mending garden needs tending
How soon it's become over-grown
Oh house for sale
I've had enough
I'll send a van
To get my stuff
House for sale
I'm leaving like I'm getting out of jail
I'm leaving like I'm getting out of jail
Hou-se for sale
I'm talking to you
Because with time care cash
Peace love and under-standing
It can be as good as new
House for sale
House for sale
I hope I've done it justice!
