Shanti realizes the curtains are 24 years old.

lyrics

This house, this despairing house
With its yellowing walls and its listless upholstery,
This house, this sick joke of a house
With its hospital lights and the flooring from the 70's


And the curtains, yeah the curtains
The curtains in the living room
How I wish they weren't blue
And the kitchen, and the dining are just the same
Oh, its driving me insane
(I need a…I need a…I need a…I…I….)


This house, this sick joke of a house
Where the furniture makes no sense whatsoever
This house, this sick joke of a house
With its weeping windows and its roof
of lead



And the tortured shapes made by the tortured fittings
That are screaming in the bathroom ,(the) mirrors are shattering
And the desperate sighs made by the desperate doors make me cry
But you don't seem to mind, oh
(I need a…I need a…I need a…I…I...)


Darling, you should've seen it coming
But I guess you don't have the imagination
To suffer, in quite as many colours as I do
But we know, but we know
That's not true...



This life, this sick joke of a life
With your slippers and your withering sex-drive
This life, this sick joke of a life
With your first-editions and your ridiculous garden


(and the) the soap-carving, the soap-carving
Sitting for hours in contented bliss
With your history-blogging, fucking
history-blogging
How could you be so well-adjusted?
(When I need a…I need a…I need a…I…I…)


Oh, Darling, you should've seen it coming
but I guess you don't have the
imagination
To suffer in quite as many colours as I do
But we know, but we know


That I could poison you and you'd never see it coming
Death threat…this is a…this is a
Oh, I could poison you and you'll never see it coming
Death threat
This is a…this is a...
