[al:]
[00:10.28] When you were born in the house on the hill,
[00:16.85] I was making a fool of myself
[00:19.87] With the boy next door
[00:21.50] Desperate for attention, and then clamouring for more
[00:25.67] He must've seen me coming
[00:29.26] I put my heart right through it
[00:31.35] And I knew the whole town knew it
[00:33.57] Up and down the high streets, in and out of shops
[00:36.07] Word flew that
[00:37.85] I didn't know when
[00:38.77] I should stop
[00:40.92] Oh, he must've seen me coming
[00:43.82] I wish that
[00:45.40] I could have it all again
[00:49.37] But now it's too late for me
[00:58.29] You're gazing on the house
[01:02.16] I once lived in
[01:04.46] So you can do it for me
[01:12.86] When you were starting school,
[01:16.71] I was playing the next fool
[01:19.04] With another boy next door or at least a room on the same floor of my new residence
[01:26.12] Oh, he never saw me coming
[01:28.77] I had gone with good intention to further my education
[01:33.68] But the lure of more affection was beyond self-preservation
[01:38.08] So I opened up the floodgates
[01:40.89] And then he started running
[01:43.69] I wish that
[01:46.11] I could have it all again
[01:49.43] But now it's too late for me
[01:59.30] You're gazing on the house
[02:02.80] I once lived in
[02:05.66] So you can do it for me
[02:13.61] Now we meet for the first time
[02:18.02] And the ignorance is bliss
[02:20.80] Did she make your stomach flip, when you managed to find your first kiss?
[02:25.60] And did she go for more, do you think she saw you coming?
[02:30.53] So when you look from the house on the hill, and the walk towards the graveyard
[02:35.06] Remember how
[02:36.13] I faltered, remember how
[02:37.30] I felt, remember how
[02:37.58] I gave far too much as well
[02:41.86] To the boy who was in as well
[02:46.16] I wish that
[02:47.07] I could have it all again
[02:50.05] But now it's too late for me
[02:56.64] You're gazing on the house
[03:03.66] I once lived in
[03:06.20] So you can do it for me
[03:15.15] I wish that
[03:17.15] I could have it all again
[03:21.43] But now it's too late for me
[03:30.76] You're gazing on the house
[03:34.24] I once lived in
[03:37.06] So you can do it for me
