There was a one bedroom flat at the top of the road 
With [bad word] water and a [bad word] 
And there were kids on their porches with [bad word] lit like torches 
I though this will do for me 

So we crammed in the back dancing ten to the foot 
As the smoke filled the air we were misunderstood 
And the beats kept dropping the foundations like bombs 
Oh we knew that it couldn't be long 

And though the building collapsed with the night 
Everybody got out alive 
And though the building collapsed with the night 
Everybody's doing fine 
And though the building collapsed with the night 
Everybody got out alive 
And though the building collapsed with the night 
Everybody's doing fine 

There was a five bedroom house by the foot of the field 
With a well-mannered dweller quite substantial in build 
And there were barb wire fences and piles of expenses 
And Lawns mown impressively 

As they sat in the back and they started to eat 
Raise a glass to the host and his prosperity 
Though the corks kept popping and they [bad word] up the band 
The foundations seemed sunk in the sand 

And though the building collapsed with the night 
Everybody got out alive 
And though the building collapsed with the night 
Everybody's doing fine 
And though the building collapsed with the night 
Everybody got out alive 
And though the building collapsed with the night 
Everybody's doing fine 

And though the building collapsed with the night 
Everybody got out alive 
And though the building collapsed with the night 
Everybody's doing fine 
And though the building collapsed with the night 
Everybody got out alive 
And though the building collapsed with the night 
Everybody's doing fine
