Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
In an old fibro house
On an almost quiet street
We learnt how to bowl and bat
And we learned to find our feet

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I wonder if they dug up puppets
When they cut into the ground
And if you can't stay, I'll call on the neighbours
[?]

[Verse 2]
I am sure my oldest friend (Ah ah-ah, ah, ah-ah ah)
Still lives around the bend (Ooh ooh-ooh, ooh ooh)
I wish I'd kept in touch (Ah ah-ah, ah, ah-ah ah)
I still remember her phone number

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And the boy across the road
Who called me a fruitcake when he saw
Me dance to Britney Spears in the mirror
I'd never given anyone the finger before

[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I'd known
The chance to show you my childhood home

[Verse 3]
One sunny summer day (In the afternoon)
My mother cloaked our house (On that quiet street)
In brightly purple paint (Ah ah-ah, ah, ah-ah ah)
And dad didn't notice for a week

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Out the back, where the snowdrops grew
And the grass got [?]
Children, face the front, or have dinner on the back stair
Have you forgot your Qs and Ps?

[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I'd known
The chance to show you my childhood home

[Bridge]
Ooh ooh ooh-ooh, ooh ooh, ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh...

Maybe in my twilight years, I'll come
Make a home here when the battle's won
Only hope I have found someone by then

[Outro]
In an old fibro house
On an almost quiet street...
