Houses (2022 Version)

I've lived in houses where sun never shines

By damp courses, race courses, near railway lines

All this you would see if you'd live with me

I've lived in houses of fibro and stone

I've lived with people but I've been alone

All this you would see if you'd live with me

I'd pay the gas bill, you'd pay the phone

I'd pay through my nose to not live alone

If you'd live with me

If you'd live with me

If you'd live with me

I've lived in houses with people so bent

They can't do the cleaning, they don't pay their rent

My mother would be pleased if you'd live with me

My days would be faster, my nights better spent

A little less disaster if you'd share the rent

If you'd live with me

If you'd live with me

If you'd live with me

You've lived in houses much nicer than mine

Big gardens, front porches painted so fine

But with me beside you at least you won't freeze

'Cause I've lived through winters and never got cold

I'm not growing tired, I'm not getting old

But I'm sick of houses of shysters and wowsers

Of drunken carousers

I think you would see

If you'd live with me

If you'd live with me

If you'd live with me

Ah come on, live with me
