You said, "We should look out further"

I guess it wouldn′t hurt us

We don't have to be around all these coffee shopsNow we′ve got that percolator

Never made a latte greater

I'm saving 23 dollars a week

We drive to a house in Preston

We see police arresting

A man with his hand in a bag

How's that for first impressions?

This place seems depressing

It′s a Californian bungalow in a cul-de-sac

It′s got a lovely garden

A garage for two cars to park in

Or a lot of room for storage if you've just got one

"And it′s going pretty cheap," you say

Well, it's a deceased estate

Aren′t the pressed metal ceilings great?

Then I see the handrail in the shower

A collection of those canisters for coffee, tea and flour

And a photo of a young man in a van in Vietnam

And I can't think of floorboards anymore

Whether the front room faces south or north

And I wonder what she bought it for

If you′ve got a spare half a million

You could knock it down and start rebuildin'

If you've got a spare half a million

You could knock it down and start rebuildin′

If you′ve got a spare half a million

You could knock it down and start rebuildin'

If you′ve got a spare half a million

You could knock it down and start rebuildin'
