Shakin Stevens - This old house lyrics

This old house once knew its children

This old house once knew its wife

This old house was home and comfort

As they fought the storms of life

This old house once rang with laughter

This old house heard many shouts

Now it trembles in the darkness

When the lightning walks about

Ain't gonna need this house no longer

Ain't gonna need this house no more

Ain't got time to fix the shingles

Ain't got time to fix the floor

Ain't got time to oil the hinges

Nor to mend the window pain

Ain't gonna need this house no longer

He's getting ready to meet the saints

This old house is gettin' shaky

This old house is gettin' old

This old house has seen the rain

This old house has seen the cold

Oh his knees are gettin' chilly

But he feels no fear or pain

'Cause he sees an angel peepin'

Through a broken window pane

Ain't gonna need this house no longer

Ain't gonna need this house no more

Ain't got time to fix the shingles

Ain't got time to fix the floor

Ain't got time to oil the hinges

Nor to mend the window pain

Ain't gonna need this house no longer

He's getting ready to meet the saints

This old house is gettin' shaky

This old house is gettin' old

This old house has seen the rain

This old house has seen the cold

Oh his knees are gettin' chilly

But he feels no fear or pain

'Cause he sees an angel peepin'

Through a broken window pane

Ain't gonna need this house no longer

Ain't gonna need this house no more

Ain't got time to fix the shingles

Ain't got time to fix the floor

Ain't got time to oil the hinges

Nor to mend the window pain

Ain't gonna need this house no longer

He's getting ready to meet the saints
