Montello - House on Fire Lyrics

It's so easy
To think of something
When we get on like a house on fire
It's so simple
When all is reasoned
But the flames are only growing higher
You think it'll last so
You let time pass and
There's never any in your way
I'll drop out and tune in
To what you're thinking
You never do much, anyway

House on fire
House on fire

Oh, it's such a privilege
I find myself in
Living with someone like you
We eat, and talk and
Sleep, and walk and
Do everything these people do
Something's wrong but
I'll sing the same song
And try to keep a happy tune, for you
We can wait
And think of what to say
When we're bored of one another's views

House on fire
House on fire

The mantlepiece broken
The windows unopened
The smoke's building up inside
This love was a bargain
I'll hide in the garden
The fire brigade took their time

For this house on fire

Oh, it's so easy
To think of something
When you get on like a house on fire
It's so simple
When all is reasoned
But the flames are only growing higher

House on fire

House on fire
House on fire
House on

Fire
