Our House Lyrics - Madness Presents The Rise & Fall - Madness

Father wears his Sunday best 

Mother's tired she needs a rest 

The kids are playing up downstairs 

Sister's sighing in her sleep 

Brother's got a date to keep 

He can't hang around 

Our house, in the middle of our street 

Our house, in the middle of our ... 

Our house it has a crowd 

There's always something happening 

And it's usually quite loud 

Our mum she's so house-proud 

Nothing ever slows her down 

And a mess is not allowed 

Our house, in the middle of our street 

Our house, in the middle of our ... 

Something tells you that you've got to get away from it 

Father gets up late for work 

Mother has to iron his shirt 

Then she sends the kids to school 

Sees them off with a small kiss 

She's the one they're going to miss 

In lots of ways 

I remember way back then when everything was true and when 

We would have such a very good time such a fine time 

Such a happy time 

And I remember how we'd play simply waste the day away 

Then we'd say nothing would come between us two dreamers 

Our house, was our castle and our keep 

Our house, in the middle of our street 

Our house, that was where we used to sleep 

Our house, in the middle of our street 

Our house, in the middle of our street
