[00:00.000]House On The Hill - Kevin Coyne
[00:12.787]Well I'm going to the house upon the hill
[00:17.331]The place where they give you pills
[00:22.342]The rooms are always chilled
[00:26.406]They're never cosy
[00:30.111]Where they give three suits a year
[00:33.485]And at Christmas time a bottle of beer
[00:37.702]And at Easter time the mayor comes round
[00:42.470]He's always smiling
[00:45.606]Where the old ladies sit by the garden wall
[00:48.374]And they never hear the bluebird call
[00:54.658]Never notice the leaves that fall cause they're all crazy
[01:00.356]Where the red bus stands by the great big gate
[01:05.894]The red bus that's always late
[01:10.668]You know why it's always late
[01:14.542]Cause it's always empty
[01:16.613]Funny funny funny funny oh so funny that's it's making me cry
[01:26.780]Funny funny funny funny
[01:30.464]Oh so funny Lord sometimes I wish I could die
[01:38.119]Now this pagan life is getting me down
[01:42.303]My brow is filled with a furl and a frown
[01:46.969]My eyelids lower as low as can be but I'm not sleeping
[01:53.771]I wander round that Brixton Square with the bottles strewn everywhere
[02:01.915]Under tables and under chairs and they're all broken
[02:09.909]Where the big red face of the man on the beat Says Hey
[02:15.463]Have you had someting to eat
[02:19.067]Thrusts out his yellow teeth they're all for biting
[02:26.503]Where I don't have a cent and I don't know
[02:32.245]How I'll pay the rent
[02:35.141]I think I'll turn bent and make some money
[02:43.209]Funny funny funny funny oh so funny that's it's making me cry
[02:51.524]Funny funny funny funny oh so funny Lord sometimes I wish I could die
[03:02.600]So if you know a way I can go from out of
[03:08.723]This show you know
[03:11.687]You could give me a golden glow but you're not trying
[03:18.900]You'd never lift a regular hand you call me a lazy man
[03:27.390]Who on earth will ever understand I'm really trying
[03:34.492]So I'm going to the house upon the hill
[03:38.838]The place where they give you pills
[03:42.594]And where the doctors they don't kill cause
[03:48.275]They're so friendly
[03:51.143]Where the red bus stands by the great big gate
[03:55.446]The red bus and it's always late
[03:59.354]You know why it's always late
[04:03.378]Because it's always empty
[04:07.718]Funny funny funny funny oh so funny that's it's making me cry
[04:15.680]Funny funny funny funny oh so funny Lord
[04:21.730]Sometimes I wish I could die
