Lyrics Nik Kershaw

Nik Kershaw

Old House

I don’t want this silence breaking

Though who do I think I’ll be waking

Footsteps of mine on hallowed ground

17 ghosts follow me around

But they’re not so good at talking

They just keep on walking

Rattling their chains as they go

They won’t be leaving me alone

‘til I am rid of this

Old house Leaky roof Creaky staircase

Old house Squeaky door

Get me out of here

Old house Dusty room Dirty window

Old house Empty house

Get me out of here

17 ghosts huff and puff

And this little heart just ain’t big enough

To fill this place with any cheer

Cos I’ve spent one night too many here

So I sing to myself a lullaby

And go to my bed praying I

Will soon be rid of this

I’ll fly and I won’t look down

And fall till I hit the ground

Then run like a maniac

And I won’t look back

When I am rid of this

Old house Leaky roof Creaky staircase

Old house Squeaky door

Get me out of here

Old house Dusty room Dirty window

Old house Empty house

Get me out of here

Old house
