Information: Following conventional lyric notation practice, words are broken into syllables to interpret the phrasing of the lyrics. Each word syllable in the lyrics below represents a note on the vocal part of this arrangement. A hyphen '-' or trailing hyphens following a word syllable indicates that the word syllable is extended over more than one note. ============================= Our House - Madness ============================= INTRO . . . . . . . . . . . . . Fa-ther wears his Sun-day best
Moth-er's tired she needs a rest The kids are play-ing up down-stairs
Sis-ter's sigh-ing in her sleep Broth-er's got a date to keep,
He can't hang a-round
Our house, in the mid-dle of our street
Our house, in the mid-dle of our...
Our house, it has a crowd There's al-ways
some-thing hap-pen-ing and it's us-ual-ly quite loud
Our mum she's so house-proud Noth-ing ev-er slows her down
and a mess is not al-lowed
Our house, in the mid-dle of our street
Our house, in the mid-dle of our...
Our house, in the mid-dle of our street
Our house, in the mid-dle of our...
Fa-ther gets up late for work Mo-ther has to iron his shirt
Then she sends the kids to school
Sees them off with a small kiss She's the one they're going
to miss in lots of ways
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
Our house, in the mid-dle of our street
Our house, in the mid-dle of our...
I rem-em-ber way back then when ev-ery-thing was true and when we would have such a ve-ry
good time, such a fine time Such a hap-py time....
And I re-member how we'd play sim-ply waste the day a-way
Then we'd say no-thing would come be-tween us two dream-ers
Fa-ther wears his Sun-day best Moth-er's tired she needs a rest The kids are play-ing up down-stairs
Sis-ter's sigh-ing in her sleep Broth-er's got a date to keep He can't hang a-round
