Housebound

Looking at the world, through lace curtains

Would they like you out there? You're not certain

Scared of walking down the street

You never know who you might meet

Or who you might bump into

They're out there waiting for you

Housebound

You daren't go out

Because you're housebound

You don't want to go out

Because you're housebound

There's no way out

Because you're housebound

You daren't go out!

Rearrange the ornaments when you're feeling down

Push the hoover round and round what a lovely sound!

Housebound

You're all left out

Because you're housebound

You don't want to go out

Because you're housebound

You scream and shout

Because you're housebound

You daren't go out!

The moths inside the wardrobe

The mirror on the door

Love your latest outfit

That's what friends are for!

Housebound!

You daren't go out

Because you're housebound

You don't want to go out

Because you're housebound

You scream and shout

Because you're housebound

You don't go out!

Housebound

You're living in doubt

Because you're housebound

You don't want to go out

Because you're housebound

There's no way out

Because you're housebound

You don't go out!

People calling just distract you from the endless talk

Of changing channel, brightness, volume, colour and contrast

There's a curfew on you, you're losing all contact

You just don't know what to do, You're caught in a housetrap!

Housebound

You're all left out

Because you're housebound

You don't want to go out

Because you're housebound

You scream and shout

Because you're housebound

You daren't go out
