Lyrics The Teardrop Explodes

The Teardrop Explodes

Strange House In The Snow

Oh this particular something

Loosen my restless sleep

Hunters came pouring in

To a strange house in the snow

Oh but he longed to get out

Get out of the child's world

And the girl wrestling the child

Shot the sun

Eleven o'clock

Her lovesick children

Speak maddening

Hunters came pouring in

To a strange house in the snow

Oh but he longed to get out

Get out of the child's world

The girl wrestling the child

Shot the sun

I came down from the mountains

I came down to see you

To see you

Baby dont let me lose my reason

Dont let me lose my head

I lose faith

Dont let me lose my head

Put me in your pocket

Until I get better

Home for terrible letters

I came down from the mountains

I killed all of your children

Strange as it may seem

Just as a ghost might play

Hunters came pouring

Down off the mountains

We are all lost

Lost in the snow

Waiting for you

Waiting to guide us

I lose my sense of reason

Put me in your pocket

Till I get better

Why do you look so dour

This is the way we jump and scream

Why do you look so dour

This is the way we punch and kick

Punch and kick

Make the other children sick

Because we punch and kick
