Lyrics

[Verse 1] You said, "We should look out further" I guess it wouldn't hurt us We don't have to be around all these coffee shops Now we've got that percolator Never made a latte greater I'm saving twenty-three dollars a week [Verse 2] We drive to a house in Preston We see police arresting A man with his hand in a bag How's that for first impressions? This place seems depressing It's a Californian bungalow in a cul-de-sac [Verse 3] It's got a lovely garden A garage for two cars to park in Or a lot of room for storage if you've just got one "And it's going pretty cheap," you say Well, it's a deceased estate Aren't the pressed metal ceilings great? [Verse 4] Then I see the handrail in the shower A collection of those canisters for coffee, tea and flour And a photo of a young man in a van in Vietnam And I can't think of floorboards anymore Whether the front room faces south or north And I wonder what she bought it for [Refrain] If you've got a spare half a million You could knock it down and start rebuildin' If you've got a spare half a million You could knock it down and start rebuildin' If you've got a spare half a million You could knock it down and start rebuildin' If you've got a spare half a million You could knock it down and start rebuildin' If you've got a spare half a million You could knock it down and start rebuildin' If you've got a spare half a million You could knock it down and start rebuildin'
