Knocking Nails Into My House
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This house is mine but the men they say is not
You see this house is the only thing I've got
Running 'round they work so hard and fast
But they don't know my house is built to last
Here comes a man, in a van
And he's looking very angry at me
They're knocking nails into walls upon my walls
They run and hide as the old grey ceiling falls
Eagerly they gather in my shed
They've gone for now, so I can ease my head
Here comes a man, in a van
And he's looking very angry at me
They're knocking nails into my house
They're knocking nails into my house
They work so hard, all is left is my front room
There goes a wall, oh I think I spoke too soon
Here comes a man, in a van
And he's looking very angry at me
They're knocking nails into my house
They're knocking nails into my house
They're knocking nails into my house
