Build- The Housemartins

Clambering men in big bad boots Dug up my den, dug up my roots Treated us like plasticine town They built us up and knocked us down From meccano to legoland Here they come with a brick in their hand Men with heads filled up with sand It's build It's build a house where we can stay Add a new bit everyday It's build a road for us to cross Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots Whistling men in yellow vans They can and drew us diagrams Showed us how it all worked it out And wrote it down in case of doubt Slow, slow, quick, quick, quick It's wall to wall and brick to brick They work so fast it makes you sick It's build It's build a house where we can stay Add a new bit everyday It's build a road for us to cross Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots It's build Down with sticks and up with bricks In with boots and up with roots It's in with suits and new recruits It's build
