A House Of Many Rooms Mike & The Mechanics

[00:34.64] There may be some things about me
[00:45.64] Things you don't want to hear
[00:54.63] For the rumours that precede me
[00:57.75] May be very true I fear
[01:05.34] They tell you I will deceive you
[01:17.58] I don't know how to care
[01:26.76] Though my intentions might be good
[01:29.94] There's another darker look beware
[01:39.35] When you walk through the door
[01:43.54] Hang on to your senses
[01:49.75] At best you must assume
[01:54.04] It's a house of many rooms
[02:01.78] Some rooms are filled with pleasure
[02:11.66] Laughter and love and light
[02:21.94] All the things you never see
[02:24.35] I keep under lock and key at night
[02:32.44] When you walk through the door
[02:37.95] Hang on to your senses
[02:44.32] At best you must assume
[02:48.66] It's a house of many rooms
[02:55.65] If you love me in the light
[03:00.17] Love me in the shadow
[03:06.38] I'm afraid you must assume
[03:10.54] It's a house of many rooms
[03:16.86] A house of many rooms
[03:21.93] It's a house that's so unstable
[03:24.72] There are those who recommend
[03:26.99] If they'd the strength and they were able
[03:29.54] It ought to be condemned
[03:32.44] I don't agree but I will warn you
[03:35.07] At best you must assume
[03:37.84] I live in a house of many rooms
[03:43.52] Here I'm in the library
[03:46.05] Trying to understand
[03:48.66] What empowers this behaviour
[03:51.28] Degenerates the man
[03:54.03] The same apartment later
[03:56.66] With the bottle half consumed
[03:59.36] I see a house of many rooms
[04:05.83] In the parlour I'm your father
[04:07.79] Who could ask for more
[04:10.45] The bedroom compromise me
[04:13.45] With your best friend from next door
[04:15.87] In the kitchen being honest
[04:18.47] The lounge a lying tongue
[04:20.76] Locked in the bathroom
[04:24.26] Pretending to be young
[04:27.43] The chapel finds me kneeling
[04:29.78] Praying for my soul
[04:32.66] The painting in the attic
[04:35.07] Can't prevent me growing old
[04:37.76] Help me live forever
[04:40.56] Silent as a tomb
[04:43.45] I live in a house of many rooms
[04:49.23] Join me at the dining table
[04:51.76] Join me at the feast
[04:54.36] Join me in the stable
[04:57.02] I'm laying with the beast
[04:59.88] You're walking in the garden
[05:02.22] Oblivious who'd know?
[05:05.05] I'm in the cellar ready to explode
[05:12.04]
