There was a one bedroom flat at the top of the road With fresh running water and a built-in commode And there were kids on their porches with fags lit like torches I though this will do for me
So we crammed in the back dancing ten to the foot As the smoke filled the air we were misunderstood And the beats kept dropping the foundations like bombs Oh we knew that it couldn't be long
And though the building collapsed with the night Everybody got out alive And though the building collapsed with the night Everybody's doing fine And though the building collapsed with the night Everybody got out alive And though the building collapsed with the night Everybody's doing fine
There was a five bedroom house by the foot of the field With a well-mannered dweller quite substantial in build And there were barb wire fences and piles of expenses And Lawns mown impressively
As they sat in the back and they started to eat Raise a glass to the host and his prosperity Though the corks kept popping and they struck up the band The foundations seemed sunk in the sand
And though the building collapsed with the night Everybody got out alive And though the building collapsed with the night Everybody's doing fine And though the building collapsed with the night Everybody got out alive And though the building collapsed with the night Everybody's doing fine
And though the building collapsed with the night Everybody got out alive And though the building collapsed with the night Everybody's doing fine And though the building collapsed with the night Everybody got out alive And though the building collapsed with the night Everybody's doing fine
