A very big house in the bun tree
A very big house in the country
Blow up my house, I am so sad, I don't know why
Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why
Caught up in a century of dieting
Caught up in the century's anxiety
Doesn't drink, smoke, laugh
Takes heroin baths in the country.
Doesn't drink, smoke, laugh
Takes herbal baths in the country.
HH Geller, successful fella, thought to himself
Oops I've got a lot of money
Caught in a rat race, trying to leave
(Later)
Everything's going category
Touched with his oddball tragedy
City dweller, successful fella, thought to himself
Oops I've got a lot of money
Caught in a rat race terminally
(Later)
Everything's going jackanory
Touched with his own mortality
He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh, takes horrible baths in the country
He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh, takes herbal baths in the country
He takes his mother the pills
And sends his mother the bills
In the country.
He takes all manner of pills
And piles up analyst bills
In the country.
He'd shag a man up the ar$e, in the country
There's lots of rural charm, in the country
He's a raging bullseye, knocking back Prozac
It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully blind
Oh it's a century's from a tee
But when things are hard, a new start, a tricycle life
He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
He's got a bomb in his chest so he needs a long rest in the country
He's reading Balzac and knocking back Prozac
It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland
Oh it's a century's remedy
For the faint at heart a new start, try the simple life
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's got a ma' named Glory
He's got morning glory
Kids in the house
He lives in a house.
Lovely, lovely house, I am so sad, I don't know why.
Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why.
Oh, it's like an animal fart
Oh, it's like an animal farm
Takes her up the a*** in the country.
Takes herbal baths in the country.
There's new wave in town and the country
Lots of rural charm in the country
There’s some nourished charm in the country
Lots of rural charm in the country
Watching afternoon repeats and the pearly gates in the country
He takes all minor pills and piles up Alison's bills in the country
Oh, it's like I'm down on the farm, there's a lurid charm in the country
He's got morning glory and likes a devil's story
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 likes a different story
