There was one bedroom flat at the top of the road,
with [bad word] water and a built [bad word] and there were kids on the porches 
with [bad word] lit like torches
I thought this would 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.
we knew that it wouldn't be long..

and though the building collapsed with the night, 
everybody got out alive.
oh the building collapsed with the night, 
everybody's doing fine.

There was a 5 bedroom house by the foot of the field,
with a well mannered dweller, quite substantial in build.
there were barb wire fences and piles of expenses 
and lawns mown impressively.

So they sat in the back and they started to eat,
raise a glass to the host and his prosperity,
as the corks kept popping and they stuck up the band,
the foundations soon sunk in the sand.

and though the building collapsed with the night
everybody got out alive.
oh the building collapsed with the night, 
everybody's doing fine.

(ba baba bababa ba)

and though the building collapsed with the night
everybody got out alive.
oh the building collapsed with the night, 
everybody's doing fine.
