Lyrics House of Love - Squeeze

House of Love

She was full of lies and boredom
It came as no surprise that she would cheat
Her nails were long and sharp
But she didnt play the harp
She wasnt an angel I told her
But she wasnt able to understand my words
Rich pickings in reverse
I wasnt shakespeare
Its simple
Did she expect me To kiss her feet
A very acidic tongue
Waggled in her head
Life was lots of fun
At times I had to smile
In front of everyone
We seemed the best of friends
Life had just begun
When on the roof a tile began to slip
The house of love caved in and that was it She was full of tears by nature
It came to me so clear that she would creep
Her eyes were stale and spun
Like marbles in the sun
She wasnt a princess I told her
And so I witnessed the slaying of my life
That lasted half the night
I wasnt jesus
Believe me Our love was seedless
And incomplete
