Built a home for us to live
Out of cardboard, and bottles of gin
Pretty weak foundations
But it's got a good location
Location, location
Built a place for us to sing
A cathedral where our voices ring
Vaulted ceilings, crystal floors
But I forgot to build a door
Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave
My hands are tired
I've been building for so long
It's time to retire
Let the buildings dissolve,
Dissolve
The cardboard will break down
And the rain, will take the gin to drown
Our cathedral has gone silent
Broken by the weather's violence
All gone, all gone, all gone
All gone, but I still have you
