Sally Timms, Marc Almond - This House Is A House Of Trouble lyrics

This house is a house of troubles
This house is a house of etars
The walls shake in desperation
It's been a prison for many a year
This house is a house of troubles
This house is a house of tears
The walls shake in desperation
It's been a prison for many a year
I gave you love
(you gave me a necklace of diamonds)
I gave you love (you gave me a Mercedes Benz)
I gave you love
(you gave me anything but love, love, love)
Well I thought I loved a hero
But it seems I loved a fool (Gee thanks)
Too many times I've seen you
Falling drunken off your stool
I've seen you looking small on the
Floor of some dark bar
Spending all your money like
The vagabond you are
You promised me a heaven but you
Stuck me in a h
You're lazy and you're indiscreet and
Bad in bed as well
(Well, I've had no complaints before)
Lipstick where I've never seen
Lipstick marks before
Out each night to play the field and
Me I'm locked behind this door
This house is a house of troubles
This house is a house of tears
The walls shake in desperation
It's been a prison for many a year
This house is a house of troubles
This house is a house of tears
The walls shake in desperation
It's been a prison for many a year
I gave you love
(you gave me lies and deception)
I gave you love (you gave me an overdraft)
I gave you love
(you gave me anything but love, love, love)
I gave you love
(you gave me the cold shoulder)
I gave you love (you gave me an icy stare)
I gave you love
(you gave me anything but love, love, love)
I thought I married elegance (You did)
But it seems I married cheap
Seems you've found some doubtful ways
To boost your weekly keep
I've seen you draped in furs
But they're as fake as can be
They go with your complexion
And your personality
When things start to get bad
Your hand up to your head
Making for the tranquillisers
Or some boy to your bed (Ha! You can talk)
Behaving ways I've never seen
A lady act before
Out each night to play the field
And me I'm locked behind my door
I gave you love
(you gave me an elegant prison)
I gave you love
(you gave me a washing machine)
I gave you love
(you gave me anything but love, love, love)
I gave you love (you gave me nothing)
I gave you love (you gave me nothing)
I gave you love
(you gave me anything but love, love, love)
This house is a house of troubles
This house is a house of tears
The walls shake in desperation
It's been a prison for many a year
This house is a house of troubles
This house is a house of tears
The walls shake in desperation
It's been a prison for many a year
