We'll Build a House - Martin Newell

Every picture tells a story

Follow while you can

There’s a cardboard box for everything

Bbut this one holds a man

I can’t believe the TV screen

I can’t think this is real

And I really cannot help the way I feel

And we’ll build a house

And a place

For the kids to grow in

We’ll build a house

Ask me when

Well I’m damned if I know

Lots of well-off older people, not so many young

Shall we help them climb the ladder?

Let’s remove the bottom rung

This happy generation

Makes a tear spring to the eye

Is it really any wonder they’re so high?

And we’ll build a house

And a place

For the kids to grow in

We’ll build a house

Ask me when

Well I’m damned if I know

And we’ll build a house

And a place

For the kids to grow in

We’ll build a house

Ask me when

Well I’m damned if I know
