Home Improvements Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How ‘bout we just forget the home improvements
Just stop the wall and leave things as they are
How ‘bout we go and live in Barcelona
All Gaudí boys and girls in tapas bars
Those girls in tapas bars

[Verse 2]
How ‘bout we eat our dinner ‘round the table
And throw the television down the stairs
Take [?] turns to tell each other fables
Talk only of the things for which we care
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It's no good to the point of most resistance
It feels like we've been here once before

[Chorus]
And therein lies the rub
We can't stop working
We've gone out and we've bought stuff (We've gone out and we've bought stuff)
We've gone out and we've bought this stuff and now we've got to pay it back

[Pre-Verse]
We've got to pay it back

[Verse 3]
How ‘bout we grab a boat and row the river
Let's drink the wine and sleep beneath the stars
'Til we remove the children from the school
Drive right around the rim of Australia [Pre-Chorus 2]
It's no good to the point where we don't care to
Read any other papers anymore
It's all filled up with stuff that's plainly pointless
Read it and you break out in cold sores

[Bridge]
How ‘bout we take the long slow boat to [?]
And build a little hut down on the beach
Make a business out of working sundry exports
Phone message says that we are out of reach
[Chorus]
And therein lies the rub
We can't stop working (We can't stop working)
We've gone out and we've bought stuff (We've gone out and we've bought stuff)
We've gone out and we've bought this stuff
And therein lies the rub
We can't stop working (We can't stop working)
We've gone out and we've bought stuff (We've gone out and we've bought stuff)
We've gone out and we've bought this stuff and now we've got to pay it back

[Outro]
We've got to pay it back
We've got to pay it back right now
We've got to pay it back
