Slow Gherkin - Oxford Way lyrics

We got your message, delievered it ear to ear Promote your pa**ions but take them far from here We've been living right by the sea Drown the soldiers 'cos we gotta leave Pull the pictures off of the wall and give my mother a call Maybe it's better, I'd hate to ruin your life My friends versus your wife It's not a battle for my house Where we celebrate our lives My house Where the laughter makes you cry A thousand nights here and now I cannot sleep 'Cos in the morning, I'll give you back the key By the sea the mood can be blue With a castle blocking the view A toast to the nights that were blocked by the blinds Back when we said that it was my house Where the curtains block your eyes My house Where the co*ktails float our eyes My house Where the rats dance with the mice My house WHERE YOUR CHILDREN TELL YOU LIES
