Get Out of This House Lyrics


Go jump in the lake
Go ride up the hillGet out of this houseIt's a house of your making
It's a house of ill willGet out of this houseGo listen to Buddha
Go listen to JoeGet out of this houseIf anyone asks
You tell them you don't knowGet out of this houseI spent eleven long years
In a hot house zone
I spent twenty-nine more
Tryin' to get homeWell, I never got home
But I did what I did
And I got myself this house
And you can't come in on, yeahGet out of this house
Get out of this houseI'm the queen of my castle
I'm the king of my roomGet out, get out of this houseI got more than I need
More than I ever could useGet out, get out of this houseI spent seventeen years
Trying to save my soul
I spent twenty-three more
Down in the holeNow my soul is alright
But I might get found out

And I got myself this house now
And I can't get out, outGet out of this house
Get out of this houseIf I see you again
It will be in my head at the end of a cloud
If you see me again
It will be in your head telling you to get outYou act like a baby
You talk like a foolGet out of this houseGo back to your mama
Go back to high schoolBut get out of this houseGo jump in the lake
Go jump out the doorGet out, get out of this houseI've had all I can stand
And I can't stand no moreGet out, get out of this houseGet out of this house

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Shawn Colvin (born January 10, 1956 in Vermillion, South Dakota) is an American musician. Best known for her hit single "Sunny Came Home" from the album "A Few Small Repairs".

Colvin's formative years were spent in the town of Carbondale, Illinois, where she attended Southern Illinois University Carbondale. She learned to play guitar at the age of 10. Her first public concert was at age 15 at the University of Illinois campus. Colvin cites Joni Mitchell as a primary influence on her music, and her initial performances closely mirrored Mitchell's inflections and guitar tunings.

Colvin began working in the music scene in earnest in the late 1970s, first in Austin, Texas and then nationally. She met music partner John Leventhal during this time; Leventhal would go on to be Colvin's producer on several albums. Colvin often lends her talent to contemporaries in the music business - she can be heard singing the backing vocals on the Suzanne Vega hit, "Luka" from 1987. Vega returned the favor, singing backup on Colvin's, "Diamond In The Rough", from her debut album, "Steady On". Colvin, again can be heard singing backing vocals on Mary Chapin Carpenter's, "The Hard Way" and "Come On Come On" and Mary Chapin returns the favor on Colvin's, "Climb On (A Back That's Strong)", from Colvin's "Fat City" album.

Colvin's first several albums were met with critical acclaim, but did not sell in substantial numbers. After several albums of original work, Colvin released "Cover Girl", a collection of cover songs, but the work was a departure for her and was not well received.

Colvin experienced breakthrough success with "A Few Small Repairs" in October of 1996. The single "Sunny Came Home" reached the US Top Ten, and won Grammy Awards for Song and Record of the Year. She has released several subsequent albums that were nominated for Grammys, and has also released a greatest-hits album and a collection of Christmas music.

A new album from Colvin, entitled "These Four Walls", was released on September 12, 2006.

She was the guest vocal artist on the Lisa Loeb single "Falling In Love" as well as appearing at various Lilith Fair music festivals. She also has been featured on the popular live music show Austin City Limits and played at the 2003 Austin City Limits Music Festival. She also appeared in a tribute to her idol Joni Mitchell in 2001 that was broadcast on the cable network TNT.

She has made two guest appearances on The Simpsons as Rachel Jordan, lead singer for a Christian rock band. She first appears in "Alone Again, Natura-diddly," where Rachel wins Ned Flanders' heart after the untimely death of his wife, Maude. Later, in the episode "I'm Going to Praiseland," Ned dates Rachel, only to scare her off when he tries to turn her into a version of Maude.

Colvin lives with her daughter, Caledonia, and husband, Mario Erwin in Austin, Texas, and still participates in the Austin music scene.
