My Favourite Buildings Lyrics - Hitchcock Robyn

My favourite buildings are all falling down 

Seems like I dwell in a different town 

But why should I bother with painting them brown 

When they'll all be pulled down in the end 

My favourite buildings stretch upwards for miles 

Remind me somehow of your favourite smiles 

Like oak leaves in autumn cascading on stiles 

In the rain 

Nobody seems to know how long 

All of these buildings belong 

Till they become part of you 

People get down on your knees 

Buildings are like a disease 

You could wind up in a zoo 

And most people do 

(cha) 

My favourite buildings are all laid to waste 

One might as well sculpt a statue from toothpaste 

And someday I could have a fifty-inch waist 

It's all free 

For my favourite buildings 

And me
