Nik Kershaw - Old House lyrics

I don't want this silence breaking Though who do I think I'll be waking Footsteps of mine on hallowed ground 17 ghosts follow me around But they're not so good at talking They just keep on walking Rattling their chains as they go They won't be leaving me alone ‘til I am rid of this Old house Leaky roof Creaky staircase Old house Squeaky door Get me out of here Old house Dusty room Dirty window Old house Empty house Get me out of here 17 ghosts huff and puff And this little heart just ain't big enough To fill this place with any cheer Cos I've spent one night too many here So I sing to myself a lullaby And go to my bed praying I Will soon be rid of this I'll fly and I won't look down And fall till I hit the ground Then run like a maniac And I won't look back When I am rid of this Old house Leaky roof Creaky staircase Old house Squeaky door Get me out of here Old house Dusty room Dirty window Old house Empty house Get me out of here Old house
