Lyrics for Depreston
You said we should look out further I guess it wouldn't hurt us We don't have to be around all these coffee shops Now we've got that percolator Never made a latte greater I'm savin' 23 dollars a week We drive to a house in Preston We see police arresting A man with his hand in a bag How's that for first impressions This place seems depressing It's a California bungalow in a caul-de-sac It's got a lovely garden And a garage for two cars to park in Or a lot of room for storage if you've just got one And it's going pretty cheap, you say? Well, it's a deceased's estate Aren't the pressed Metal ceilings great? Then I see the hand rail in the shower A collection of those canisters for coffee tea and flower And a photo of a young man in a van in Vietnam And I can't think of floor boards anymore Whether the front room faces south or north And I wonder what she bought it for If you've got a spare half a million You could knock it down and start rebuilding If you've got a spare half a million You could knock it down and start rebuilding If you've got a spare half a million You could knock it down and start rebuilding If you've got a spare half a million You could knock it down and start rebuilding
