House Of Love Lyrics - Squeeze

(Difford/Tilbrook) 

She was full of lies and boredom 

It came as no surprise that she would cheat 

Her nails were long and sharp 

But she didn't play the harp 

She wasn't an angel I told her 

But she wasn't able to understand my words 

Rich pickings in reverse 

I wasn't Shakespeare 

It's simple 

Did she expect me 

To kiss her feet

A very acidic tongue 

Waggled in her head 

Life was lots of fun 

At times I had to smile 

In front of everyone 

We seemed the best of friends 

Life had just begun 

When on the roof a tile began to slip 

The house of love caved in and that was it 

She was full of tears by nature 

It came to me so clear that she would creep 

Her eyes were stale and spun 

Like marbles in the sun 

She wasn't a princess I told her 

And so I witnessed the slaying of my life 

That lasted half the night 

Photos 

I wasn't Jesus 

Believe me 

Our love was seedless 

And incomplete
