This House Is A House Of Trouble (with Sally Timms) Lyrics

This house is a house of troubles, this house is a house of etars The walls shake in desperation, it's been a prison for many a year This house is a house of troubles, this house is a house of tears The walls shake in desperation, it's been a prison for many a year I gave you love (you gave me a necklace of diamonds) I gave you love (you gave me a Mercedes Benz) I gave you love (you gave me anything but love, love, love) Well I thought I loved a hero, but it seems I loved a fool (Gee thanks) Too many times I've seen you falling drunken off your stool I've seen you looking small on the floor of some dark bar Spending all your money like the vagabond you are You promised me a heaven but you stuck me in a hell You're lazy and you're indiscreet and bad in bed as well (Well, I've had no complaints before) Lipstick where I've never seen lipstick marks before Out each night to play the field and me I'm locked behind this door This house is a house of troubles, this house is a house of tears The walls shake in desperation, it's been a prison for many a year This house is a house of troubles, this house is a house of tears The walls shake in desperation, it's been a prison for many a year I gave you love (you gave me lies and deception) I gave you love (you gave me an overdraft) I gave you love (you gave me anything but love, love, love) I gave you love (you gave me the cold shoulder) I gave you love (you gave me an icy stare) I gave you love (you gave me anything but love, love, love) I thought I married elegance (You did) But it seems I married cheap Seems you've found some doubtful ways to boost your weekly keep I've seen you draped in furs, but they're as fake as can be They go with your complexion and your personality When things start to get bad, your hand up to your head Making for the tranquillisers, or some boy to your bed (Ha! You can talk!) Behaving ways I've never seen a lady act before Out each night to play the field, and me I'm locked behind my door I gave you love (you gave me an elegant prison) I gave you love (you gave me a washing-machine) I gave you love (you gave me anything but love, love, love) I gave you love (you gave me nothing) I gave you love (you gave me nothing) I gave you love (you gave me anything but love, love, love) This house is a house of troubles, this house is a house of tears The walls shake in desperation, it's been a prison for many a year This house is a house of troubles, this house is a house of tears The walls shake in desperation, it's been a prison for many a year
