Country House
Country House Lyrics(And so the story begins)City dweller, successful fellaThought to himselfOops I've got a lot of moneyI'm caught in a rat race terminallyI'm a professional cynicBut my heart's not in itI'm paying the price of living life at the limitCaught up in the century's anxietyIt preys on him, he's getting thin
Now he lives in a house, a very big house in the countryWatching afternoon repeatsAnd the food he eats in the countryHe takes all manner of pillsAnd piles up analyst bills in the countryIt's like an animal farm,Lots of rural charm in the country
Now he's got morning glory, and life's a different storyEverything going JackanoryIn touch with his own mortalityHe's reading Balzac, knocking back Prozac,It's a helping handThat makes you feel wonderfully blandOh, it's the century's remedy for the faint at heart,A new start
He lives in a house, a very big house in the countryHe's got a fog in his chestSo he needs a lot of rest in the countryHe doesn't drink smoke laughHe takes herbal baths in the countryOh, it's like an animal farmBut you'll come to no harm in the country
Blow blow me out I am so sad I don't know why.
