Dream House Lyrics - Singles - Toyah

(willcox/sidelnyc) 

There's a house on the outskirts of Marlborough 

Past the polly tea rooms 

Hidden in the trees 

That watch your every move 

Consumed by birdsong 

Over the bunker 

Below radar 

Away from the sports centre 

City tip and parked cars. 

Perched on a hillside 

An undiscovered u.f.o. 

A time thief 

In mechanical conversation 

Flashing beaming winking gleaming 

At the gaping sky. 

Throbbing with generation 

Yet stalling your car 

Burning all circuits 

Among the standing stones 

And old Sarum. 

Real estate owner occupied 

A growing concern 

Attractive moods in the woodwork 

Subsidence tolerated 

The blinds hide the 

Blushes fading adds maturity 

Prime investment for the voyeur 

Only jealously guarded. 

The paint never peels 

And the dust doesn't settle 

On the linoleum-like substance 

Across walls and floor. 

Dark is the stage 

No children live here 

And no old die 

Only silence prevails 

Paranoid actors 

Hide on the stairs 

Little creatures 

Cought in the thorns of the rose 

Arbour helicopters, jets and siren 

Wall reciting everry word that has 

Ever brought a tree down 

And bounce off the walls of the 

Dream home whispering obscenities.
