Knocking Nails Into My House - The Idle Race

This house is mine but the men they say is not

You see this house is the only thing I’ve got

Running 'round they work so hard and fast

But they don’t know my house is built to last

Here comes a man, in a van

And he’s looking very angry at me

They’re knocking nails into walls upon my walls

They run and hide as the old grey ceiling falls

Eagerly they gather in my shed

They’ve gone for now, so I can ease my head

Here comes a man, in a van

And he’s looking very angry at me

They’re knocking nails into my house

They’re knocking nails into my house

They work so hard, all is left is my front room

There goes a wall, oh I think I spoke too soon

Here comes a man, in a van

And he’s looking very angry at me

They’re knocking nails into my house

They’re knocking nails into my house

They’re knocking nails into my house
