In This House That I Call Home

(album: Wild Gift - 1981)

A hundred lives are shoved inside
Guests arrive to dump their mess
Obedient host and a visiting wife
Come outta the bedroom straightening clothes

In this house that I call home
In this house that I call home
Nobody knows the party rules
I gotta get in but there's no room
In this house that I call home
In this house that I call home

Beautiful walls are closing in
Looking at you, you're having a nightmare
Stumble over tombstone shoes
I reach to surround you, but it's too soon

In this house that I call home
In this house that I call home
Nobody knows the party rules
I gotta get in but there's no room
In this house that I call home
In this house that I call home

I finally look in your sweet eyes
And somebody comes with a bottle of beer
Oh, after he leaves I turn for a kiss
And see the lady next door, she's naked in the street

In this house that I call home
In this house that I call home
Nobody knows the party rules
I gotta get in but there's no room
In this house that I call home
In this house that I call home
In this house that I call home
