Burn the House Down

                                  In a down and out town

Living can kill your dreams

In this down and out house

Ambition bursts through the seams

I'm sure the neighbours know well

We're always stood on broke eggshells



Little broken old bar

A number can clean you out

So you hurry on home

Until your credit card shouts

We're never taken in hearts

We spend each day on the bones of our arts



The story of my life



Send me a match with your letter

A [??] follows me 'round

Send me a match with your letter

So I can burn the house down



In the cigarette smoke

There lays an empty purse

In the cigarette smoke

I meant to have your hurt

Yet there's nothing I've seen

That could compare with you and me



She's the story of my life



Send me a match with your letter

A [??] follows me 'round

Send me a match with your letter

So I can burn the house down



I guess that I'll see you soon

But everything here falls through

I hope that I see you soon

A warning day

You're the story of my life



Send me a match with your letter

A [??] follows me 'round

Send me a match with your letter

So I can burn the house down
