you said we should look out further
I guess it wouldn't hurt us
we don't have to be around all these coffee shops

now we got that percolator
never made a latté greater
I'm saving twenty three 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
the separate 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 rebuilding

if you've got a
spare half a million
you could knock it down
and start rebuilding

if you've got a
spare half a million
you could knock it down
and start rebuilding

if you've got a
spare half a million
you could knock it down
and start rebuilding
