Pete Davies - I'm Built Like a House Lyrics

I'm at the top of the food chain
A glass that flows and spills
And when I'm not white water rafting
I'm scooting down a hill
I look young for my age
And I live on my own
I don't have a pet
The kids have all flown

See me I'm like a house
My arms will be the roof
My eyes are the windows to my soul
My mouth is like a door
Oh, one thing more
Just like a house
I have flaws
I wasn't going to tell you

Oh I hate filling in forms
None of this applies to me
I'm boring, I seldom go out much
I prefer box sets on TV
I don't want to go 'walkies'
Or traipse in the rain
I've got no enthusiasm
Just so much pain

See me I'm like a house
My arms will be the roof
My eyes are the windows to my soul
My mouth is like a door
Oh, one thing more
Just like a house
I have flaws
I almost forgot to tell you

An evening with you by the fire
Makes me feel sick with dread
I don't want to be romantic
Inside my single bed
I see you've been round the block
And you're starting to drool
I think that photo was taken
The day you left school

See me I'm like a house
My arms will be the roof
My eyes are the windows to my soul
My mouth is like a door
Oh, one thing more
Just like a house
I have flaws

See me I'm like a house
I think I'll buy a padlock
My arms will be the roof
My eyes are the windows to my soul
My mouth is like a door
