depreston

you said we should look out further

i guess it wouldn't hurt us

we don't have to be around all these coffee shops

now we've got that percolator

never made a latte greater

i'm saving twenty three dollars a week

we drive to a house in preston

we see police arrestin'

a man with his hand in a bag

how's that for first impressions? this place seems depressing

it's a californian bungalow in a cul-de-sac

it's got a lovely garden

a garage for two cars to park in

or a lot of room for storage if you've just got one

and it's going pretty cheap you say

well it's a deceased estate

aren't the pressed metal ceilings great?

then i see the handrail in the shower

a collection of those canisters for coffee tea and flour

and a photo of a young man in a van in vietnam

and i can't think of floorboards anymore

whether the front room faces south or north

and i wonder what she bought it for

if you've got a spare half a million

you could knock it down and start rebuildin'
