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 weekWe drive to a house in Preston
We see police arresting
A man with his hand in a bag.Hows that for first impressions
This place seems depressing
It's a Californian bungalow in a cul-de-sacIts got a lovely garden
A garage for two cars to park in
Or a lot of room for storage if you've just got oneAnd its 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 VietnamAnd I cant think of floorboards anymore
Whether the front room faces south or north
And I wonder what she bought it forIf you've got a
Spare half a millionYou could knock it down
And start rebuildingIf you've got a
Spare half a millionYou could knock it down
And start rebuildingIf you've got a
Spare half a millionYou could knock it down
And start rebuildingIf you've got a
Spare half a millionYou could knock it down
And start rebuilding
