House where we all live


There's an old child's swing set on the lawn And an ivied wall lured by the years A neckerchiefed spaniel patrols the swamp And drinks from the garden of our tears

There are many rooms and many floows A billion up and a billion down I'm not sure God knows we're here Most nights it keeps to itself

There's a widow's wing and an unloved wing On the unwanted floor towards the rear I've tried to memorise their names But no sooner one dies than another appears

There were bible verses all down the halls But they soon got replaced with explcit cartoons There are lipstick marks on all our collars Amd the sign on the gate reads 'Come Back Soon'

We all do our best to keep it clean But some guy's minds are like a sieve Sometimes It's a little hard to sleep at night In the house where we all live

Now when I walk the grounds at dawn I hear the sounds of far off bells I lay my feet out in the reeds And dream of being somewhere else

So boy, next time you are in town Just ring the bell and I'll let you in I don't think you're going to need directions - Just ask for the house where we all live

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 

The lyrics HOUSE WHERE WE ALL LIVE of THE VEILS is also present in the album Nux vomica (2006)

Biografia

The Veils sono un gruppo musicale neozelandese formatosi a Londra nel 2001. Il nucleo del progetto è costituito dal cantautore e chitarrista Finn Andrews, originario della Nuova Zelanda, e il batterista Josephine Ford. Il loro sound è caratterizzato da atmosfere dark e melodie evocative, con influenze che spaziano dal post-punk al folk rock.   The Veils hanno pubblicato diversi album di successo, tra cui "Time Stays, Time Flies" (2006), "Nux Vomica" (2009) e "Sun Gangs" (2014). Le loro canzoni sono spesso caratterizzate da testi introspettivi e poetici che esplorano temi come l'amore, la perdita, la solitudine e la spiritualità. Tra i brani più noti del gruppo ricordiamo "The Killing Moon", "Axolotl" e "Don't Be Afraid". Andrews è noto per le sue performance teatrali e carismatiche, che contribuiscono a creare un'atmosfera coinvolgente durante i concerti.
