A House That’s Not Quite Home Lyrics by Junior

2015

(Like Madison Avenue, life in the suburbs has it's good moments, and others, not so good. Discouraged? Disgruntled? Heck no. They're glad to be here! Remember?)
Day one on my own
It's so cold in this house
I don't want to bother
But I know that I've found
A place I need to be
A place I need to be
You know that it hurts
And you know that it hurts
And you know that it hurts
'Cause I got what I need
Yeah, I got what I need
Yeah, I got what I need
Yeah, I got it
You know that it hurts
And you know that it hurts
And you know that it hurts
'Cause I got what I need
Yeah, I got what I need
Yeah, I got what I need
Be happy, be happy
The ones who love you still love you now
Oh-oh
You're lonely, so lonely
In a house that's not quite home
In a house that's not quite home
I'm not a saint or
A sinner in my eyes
If we follow our moral
Compasses inside
We'd shine, not fade away
We'd shine, not fade away
You know that it hurts
And you know that it hurts
And you know that it hurts
But I got what I need
Yeah, I got what I need
Yeah, I got what I need
Yeah, I got it
You know that it hurts
And you know that it hurts
And you know that it hurts
I got what I need
Yeah, I got what I need
Yeah, I got what I need
Be happy, be happy
The ones who love you still love you now
Oh-oh
You're lonely, so lonely
In a house that's not quite home
In a house that's not quite home
The pictures stripped from the wall
A sold sign hangs from the door
It won't be the same
History was made here
We pile the boxes on stairs
Handwritten "FRAGILE: TAKE CARE"
Filled with the last remains
Of the past ten years
The pictures stripped from the wall
A sold sign hangs from the door
It won't be the same
History was made here
We pile the boxes on stairs
Handwritten "FRAGILE: TAKE CARE"
Filled with the last remains
Of the past ten years
Be happy, be happy
The ones who love you still love you now
You're lonely, so lonely
In a house that's not quite home
In a house that's not quite home
