Matching Houses Lyrics

Our lounge was daubed in chip fat yellow

Well before hers next door

We had replicas of the Eiffel Tower

And an arctic rug on the living room floor

The walls were alive with Lopsided matadors

Our out of focus friends from Ibiza would kill for

Making the most of our matching houses

In the middle of nowhere special

Making the most of our matching houses

See through the curtains and the Oxfam blouses

Truant love on the lino floor

With borstal boy number four

The outline of his Blackpool rock

Written all over our Tina's frock

Dad sat on the lav missing everything

Mother burned like Joan of Arc burned

On parents evening

Making the most of our matching houses

In the middle of nowhere special

Making the most of our matching houses

See through the curtains and the Oxfam blouses

Polluting the back of our nostalgic settee

With lies and social security

Painting brown carpets with sunshine

Moving for the last time

Making the most of our matching houses

In the middle of nowhere special

Making the most of our matching houses

See through the curtains and the Oxfam blouses

Making the most of our matching houses

In the middle of nowhere special

Making the most of our matching houses

See through the curtains and the Oxfam blouses
