House Detetive

You climbed up the drainpipe

And I climbed up the ladder in your ?

We are back from the river where

The midgets deliver their bites

Jealousy's a pit

And I see that you have it in spate

Try and cut the power line to our kingdom

With some corner shop razor blades

If you ever, if you ever

Come back this way

Don't be clever, dull your senses

Your senses and stay

I know your sails are wide open

And you wait for the gale

I'd rather be in the inkwell

Than lost in the mail

I threaten you with an umbrella

With a poison tip

Then you produce a blowtorch

To the hair above my lip

The neighbours gather round, they say

The boy's not looking great

Well stick around fellas I can punch

Above my weight

If you ever, if you ever

Come back this way

Don't be clever, dull your senses

Your senses and stay

I know your sails are wide open

And you wait for the gale

I'd rather be in the inkwell

Than lost in the mail

Everybody's saying that you sister

Is a big girl

She stops me in my tracks

She has a voice like a river ?

There's a rumour goin around that you've been
