Country House Lyrics

Country House

And so the story begins

City dweller, successful fella

Thought to himself,

"Oops, I've got a lot of money" (lot of money)

Caught in a rat race terminally

I'm a professional cynic but my heart's not in it

I'm paying the price of living life at the limit (to the limit)

Caught in the century's anxiety

Yes it preys on him (preys on him)

He's getting thin (getting thin) {tricycle life}

He lives in a house, a very big house in the country

Watching afternoon repeats

and the food he eats in the country

He takes all manner of pills

and piles up analyst bills in the country

Oh, it's like an animal farm,

lots of rural charm in the country

He's got morning glory and life's a different story

Everything's going jackanorry (jackanorry)

Touched with his own mortality

He's reading Balzac and knocking back Prozac

It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland

(close your eyes child)

Oh, it's the century's remedy

For the faint at heart (faint at heart)

A new start (new start) {tricycle life}

He lives in a house, a very big house in the country

(Blow, blow me out I am so sad I don't know why)

He's got a fog in his chest, so he needs a lot of rest in the country

He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh, takes herbal baths in the country

But you'll come to no harm on the animal farm in the country

In the country (Doo doo doo)

In the country (Doo doo doo)

In the country-y-y!

Blow, blow me out I am so sad I don't know why

Blow, blow me out I am so sad I don't know why

Oh, he lives in a house, a very big house in the country

Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country

He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country

Oh, it's like an animal farm, lots of rural charm in the country

Oh, he lives in a house, a very big house in the country

He's got a fog in his chest, so he needs a lot of rest in the country

He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh, takes herbal baths in the country

Yes you'll come to no harm on the animal farm in the country

Ooh la la la

I wanna be, I wanna be {in the country})
