Safe As Houses Lyrics

About the things she might have done

She keeps her eyes firm on the ground

To set her own life

Makes up her face and not her mind

To be a wife

There was a time away back then

She might have thought to think again

But then through dolls and schoolyard games

Like ma before her

She learned girls play the family way

Don't look for more

She's just playing

Playing safe

Playing houses

Safe as houses

Here on this street when they were kids

He built his dreams with coloured bricks

But comes the time for him to prove

That he's a man now

He gets a wife and he makes his move

To three doors down

He's playing

Playing safe

Playing houses

Safe as houses

For there was no-one there to say

It didn't have to be that way

You never get the best of you

When you do what they expect you to

You've heard it all

How you're no use

You're born to fail

So follow suit

But if you feel and got a dream

Don't dare ignore it

Cos that is what you've got to be

You must got for it

Don't play it

Play it safe

A plague on houses

Safe as houses
