House of Ten

He's got one room

In a house of ten,

Yes he's got, one room,

In a house of ten

At nine he joins a faceless army

All earning the bread to live

Arriving on time every morning

He's learnt that no one will give

He's got one room

In a house of ten,

Yes he's got, one room,

In a house of ten

The people that fill this house

He doesn't know and seldom sees,

He only knows they have problems

And maybe they're just like him

Yes he's got one room

In a house of ten

And he knows even this room

Isn't his own room

He's got one room

In a house of ten

In a house of ten

For half an hour on Monday

He owns the bathroom again,

And he gets hungry

By the rota on the wall

Yes he's got one room

In a house of ten

Yes he's got one room

In a house of ten
