House On The Corner (Album Version)

House On The Corner (Album Version) - Roger Hodgson

Written by：Roger Hodgs

There's a house on the corner

Lives a man who went to war

And it tries to give him shelter

From the pain of what he saw

There's a child out the window

Painting faces in the snow

And they smile a sad reminder

Of a life he used to know

There's a house on the corner

Lives a man with empty eyes

For his heart has been broken

For he was sold a pack of lies

And he said

Hold me closer ah you know I can't

Hold me closer but you don't understand

Hold me closer

Open your heart

Hold me closer oh I'm so alone

Hold me closer ah you'll never know

Hold me closer open your heart

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Nahhh na na

Do do do do la la la la la la do do

Do do do do la la la la

Do do do do do do la lam

Do do do la lam

Do la lam la lam

Do da lam

Param param pa param pam

For he fought for his country

Now he fights to clear his name

For the dead are always heroes

And the living live in shame

And he said

Hold me closer ah you know I can't

Hold me closer but you don't understand

Hold me closer open your heart

Hold me closer oh I'm so alone

Hold me closer ah you'll never know

Hold me closer open your heart

Ha ha ha ha ha ha

You never wanna know

Ha ha ha

And say you wanna know

Ha ha ha
