lyrics

Landlord comes around, sez “your lease is up,
Move out my house and get out your stuff” ‘cause

You don’t own
You don’t own
You don’t own
Your own home

A couple and a friend want a two-bed flat
But the letting agent won’t allow for that ‘cause

You don’t own
You don’t own
You don’t own
Your own home

They don’t want students or DSS
So the only thing they offer is homelessness ‘cause

You don’t own
You don’t own
You don’t own
Your own home

Oh where
will we find
A place?

It’s stressing me out no end
And I’m starting to bore my friends
It’s just like a jungle
You sift through the rubble
And try to find a patch that you can claim

Oh where
will we find
A place?

well maybe Bucky Fuller’s gonna
Put me in his gesodesic dome
Oh who ho ho
Or pass me a dymaxion
I don’t mind living in an old silo
Oh no no no

Maybe I’ll go back to the highlands
And buy into a crofting scheme
A couple of sheep and a piece of land
And that would be a pleasant dream

Off the grid
Off the grid I will go
Off the grid
And off the grid I’ll suddenly go

I’ll staple together a couple of caravans
By the loch with a view of the sea
A compost toilet, a solar panel
And that would be a pleasant dream

Off the grid
Off the grid I will go
Off the grid
And off the grid I’ll suddenly go

But then out of nowhere
We got ourselves a viewing
And I don’t want to jinx it
But I’ve got a lucky feeling

It’s over
It’s over
Its over
We’ve got a flat

No more searching on gumtree hour after hour
No more viewings for flats that don’t even have a working shower
It’s over
