about

The sick constrictions of marriage.

lyrics

Mama’s in the kitchen, daddy’s in the lounge
The sports is on, you’d better keep that noise DOWN!
We don’t want no trouble around here
No noise and commotion
IS THAT CLEAR?!

Twenty years ago they loved each other
Had me my sister and my brother
Somewhere along the line they lost the plot
Better cling to a marriage than lose the lot!

CHORUS
It’s a house ruled with fear
It’s a house ruled with fear
Wish I could get out
Wish I could get out OF HERE!

Mum and the kids, they never go out
Don’t ask him why unless you want him to shout!
All the neighbours talk behind their backs
But you’ll never see them do more than that!

None of the kids’ll have their friends around
Even if they did it wouldn’t last an hour
Somewhere along the line they lost their mates
Now they only come as far as the garden gate!

CHORUS

Once dad was happy,
he used to have hopes
Now all he wants is the right length of rope!
He was happy and carefree
Now he’s a drone to a queen bee

He hides in the lounge, watching TV
Drinks his beer and stares at the screen
Somewhere along the line he lost the plot
Stuck with a family - he could have had the lot!

CHORUS
