There was one bedroom flat at the top of the road With fresh running water and a built in commode And there were kids on the porches With fags lit like torches I thought this would 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 We knew that it wouldn't be long..
And though the building collapsed with the night Everybody got out alive Oh the building collapsed with the night Everybody's doing fine
There was a 5 bedroom house by the foot of the field With a well mannered dweller, quite substantial in build There were barb wire fences and piles of expenses And lawns mown impressively
So they sat in the back and they started to eat Raise a glass to the host and his prosperity As the corks kept popping and they stuck up the band The foundations soon sunk in the sand
And though the building collapsed with the night Everybody got out alive Oh the building collapsed with the night Everybody's doing fine
(ba baba bababa ba)
And though the building collapsed with the night Everybody got out alive Oh the building collapsed with the night Everybody's doing fine
