Emma Pollock - House On The Hill lyrics

When you were born in the house on the hill, I was making a fool of myself With the boy next door Desperate for attention, and then clamouring for more He must've seen me coming I put my heart right through it And I knew the whole town knew it Up and down the high streets, in and out of shops Word flew that I didn't know when I should stop Oh, he must've seen me coming I wish that I could have it all again But now it's too late for me You're gazing on the house I once lived in So you can do it for me When you were starting school, I was playing the next fool With another boy next door or at least a room on the same floor of my new residence Oh, he never saw me coming I had gone with good intention to further my education But the lure of more affection was beyond self-preservation So I opened up the floodgates And then he started running I wish that I could have it all again But now it's too late for me You're gazing on the house I once lived in So you can do it for me Now we meet for the first time And the ignorance is bliss Did she make your stomach flip, when you managed to find your first kiss? And did she go for more, do you think she saw you coming? So when you look from the house on the hill, and the walk towards the graveyard Remember how I faltered, remember how I felt, remember how I gave far too much as well To the boy who was in as well I wish that I could have it all again But now it's too late for me You're gazing on the house I once lived in So you can do it for me I wish that I could have it all again But now it's too late for me You're gazing on the house I once lived in So you can do it for me
