Текст песни House on the Hill - Emma Pollock

And you were born on the house on the hill
I was making a fool of myself
With the boy next door
Desperate for attention
And then clamored in for more
He must have seen me coming
I put my heart right through it
And the whole town knew it
Up and down the high street
In and out shops
Word flew
That I didn't know when I should stop
They must have seen me coming

I wish that I could have it all again
But now it's too late for me
You're gazing on the house I once lived in
So you can do it for me

When you started school
I was playing the next fool
With another boy next door
Or at least the room on the same floor
Of my new residence
He never saw me coming
I had gone with good intentions
To further my education
But the lure of more affections
Was beyond self-preservation
So he opened up the flood gates
And started running

I wish that I could have it all again
Now it's too late for me
You're gazing on the house I once lived in
So you can do it for me

Now we meet for the first time
And the ignorance is bliss
Did she make your stomach flip
When you managed to find your first kiss?
And did she let you go for more?
Or do you think she saw you coming?
So when you look from the house on the hill
And walk towards the graveyard
Remember how I faltered
Remember how I fell
Remember how I gave far too much as well
To the boy who was in as well

I wish that I could have it all again
But now it's too late for me
You're gazing on the house I once lived in
So you can do it for me
And I wish that I could have it all again
But now it's too late for me
You're gazing on the house I once lived in
So you can do it for me
