Burn The House Down Lyrics - Scars On 45 - Scars On 45

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
