lyrics

This is their beautiful house
and it makes them really proud
if they only had time
to sit down and drink some wine

and he opens the fridge and it is empty
and she sits by the fire and it is cold
and he looks out the window feeling sorry
for the architecture of their world
life will never let you off
it will never let you off

Why won’t you take it from me?
Is it not good enough?
Why won’t you take it from me?
Is it not love?

This is their beautiful home
no they don’t believe in garden gnomes
but of course you just need one or two for the children

and this shopping bag seems rather heavy
but that’s just such a small price to pay
yeah they consider themselves really lucky
there are always enough things to do
life will never let you off
it will never let you off

Why won’t you take it from me?
Am I not worthy enough?
Why won’t you take it from me?
Is pity all you have?

she's given it everything
but it looks like you’re not ready
she's given it one hundred percent
but it looks like you’re just not ready
for suburban heaven
for suburban heaven

(life will never let you off)
