Safe as Houses (2002 Remaster)

歌詞

She makes a home and she stays mum About the things she might have done She keeps her eyes firm on the ground, to set her own life Makes up her face and not her mind, to be a wife There was a time away back then She might have thought to think again But then through dolls and schoolyard games, like ma before her She learned girls play the family way' don't look for more She's just playing, playing safe Playing houses, safe as houses Here on this street when they were kids He built his dreams with coloured bricks But comes the time for him to prove that he's a man now He gets a wife and makes his move to three doors down He's playing, playing safe Playing houses, safe as houses For there was no-one there to say It didn't have to be that way You never get the best of you When you do what they expect you to You've heard it all, how you're no use You're born to fail, so follow suit But if you feel and got a dream, don't dare ignore it Cos that is what you've got to be, you must go for it Don't play it, play it safe A plague on houses, safe as houses
