Houses

I've lived in houses where sun never shines
By damn courses, race courses, near railway lines
All this you would see if you live with me
I've lived in houses of fibro and stone
I've lived with people, but I've been alone
All this you would see if you live with me
I'd pay the gas bill, you'd pay the phone
I'd pay through my nose to not live alone

If you'd live with me
If you'd live with me
If you'd live with me

I've lived in houses with people so bent they
Can't do their cleaning, they don't pay their rent
Yet my mother would be pleased if you'd live with me
My days would be faster, my nights better spent
A little less disaster if you'd share the rent

If you'd live with me
If you'd live with me
If you'd live with me

You've lived in houses much nicer than mine
Big gardens, front porches painted so fine
But with me beside you, at least you won't freeze
'Cause I've lived through winters and never got cold
I'm not growing tired, I'm not getting old
But I'm sick of houses of shysters and wazers, of drunken carousers
I think you would see if you'd live with me

If you'd live with me
If you'd live with me

Ah, come on
Live with me
