Burn the House Down

In a down and out town Living can kill your dreams In this down and out house Ambition bursts through the seams I'm sure the neighbours know well We're always stood on broke eggshells Little broken old bar A number can clean you out So you hurry on home Until your credit card shouts We're never taken in hearts We spend each day on the bones of our arts The story of my life Send me a match with your letter A [?] follows me 'round Send me a match with your letter So I can burn the house down In the cigarette smoke There lays an empty purse In the cigarette smoke I meant to have your hurt Yet there's nothing I've seen That could compare with you and me She's the story of my life Send me a match with your letter A [?] follows me 'round Send me a match with your letter So I can burn the house down I guess that I'll see you soon But everything here falls through I hope that I see you soon A warning day You're the story of my life Send me a match with your letter A [?] follows me 'round Send me a match with your letter So I can burn the house down
