Build

Album: The Housemartins Durasi: 4:46

Clambering men in big bad boots

Dug up my den, dug up my roots

Treated us like plasticine town

They build us up and knocked us down

From Meccano to Legoland

Here they come with a brick in their hand

Men with heads filled up with sand

It's build

It's build a house where we can stay

(Build)

Add a new bit, everyday

(Build)

It's build a road for us to cross

(Build)

Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots

(Build)

Whistling men in yellow vans

They came and drew us diagrams

Showed us how it all worked out

And wrote it down, in case of doubt

Slow, slow, and quick, quick, quick

It's wall to wall and brick to brick

They work so fast it makes you sick

It's build

It's build a house where we can stay

(Build)

Add a new bit, everyday

(Build)

It's build a road for us to cross

(Build)

Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots

(Build)

Oh, build

It's build

It's build

Down with sticks and up with bricks

In with boots and up with roots

It's in with suits and new recruits

It's build

It's build a house where we can stay

(Build)

Add a new bit, everyday

(Build)

It's build a road for us to cross

(Build)

Build us lots and lots and lots and lots

(Build)

It's build a house where we can stay

(Build)

Add a new bit, everyday

(Build)

It's build a road for us to cross

(Build)

Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots

(Build)
