[ti:House On The Hill]
[ar:Emma Pollock]
[al:]
[00:10.28]When you were born in the house on the hill,
[00:16.85]I was making a fool of myself
[00:19.87]With the boy next door
[00:21.50]Desperate for attention, and then clamouring for more
[00:25.67]He must've seen me coming
[00:29.26]I put my heart right through it
[00:31.35]And I knew the whole town knew it
[00:33.57]Up and down the high streets, in and out of shops
[00:36.07]Word flew that
[00:37.85]I didn't know when
[00:38.77]I should stop
[00:40.92]Oh, he must've seen me coming
[00:43.82]I wish that
[00:45.40]I could have it all again
[00:49.37]But now it's too late for me
[00:58.29]You're gazing on the house
[01:02.16]I once lived in
[01:04.46]So you can do it for me
[01:12.86]When you were starting school,
[01:16.71]I was playing the next fool
[01:19.04]With another boy next door or at least a room on the same floor of my new residence
[01:26.12]Oh, he never saw me coming
[01:28.77]I had gone with good intention to further my education
[01:33.68]But the lure of more affection was beyond self-preservation
[01:38.08]So I opened up the floodgates
[01:40.89]And then he started running
[01:43.69]I wish that
[01:46.11]I could have it all again
[01:49.43]But now it's too late for me
[01:59.30]You're gazing on the house
[02:02.80]I once lived in
[02:05.66]So you can do it for me
[02:13.61]Now we meet for the first time
[02:18.02]And the ignorance is bliss
[02:20.80]Did she make your stomach flip, when you managed to find your first kiss?
[02:25.60]And did she go for more, do you think she saw you coming?
[02:30.53]So when you look from the house on the hill, and the walk towards the graveyard
[02:35.06]Remember how
[02:36.13]I faltered, remember how
[02:37.30]I felt, remember how
[02:37.58]I gave far too much as well
[02:41.86]To the boy who was in as well
[02:46.16]I wish that
[02:47.07]I could have it all again
[02:50.05]But now it's too late for me
[02:56.64]You're gazing on the house
[03:03.66]I once lived in
[03:06.20]So you can do it for me
[03:15.15]I wish that
[03:17.15]I could have it all again
[03:21.43]But now it's too late for me
[03:30.76]You're gazing on the house
[03:34.24]I once lived in
[03:37.06]So you can do it for me
