Design for Living Songtext
von James Reyne

We′re terribly House and Garden
At number 7b
We live in the most amusing muse / mews
Ever so very contemporary

We're terribly House and Garden
The money that one spends
To make a place that won′t disgrace
Our House and Garden friends

We've planned an uninhibited interior decor
Curtains made of straw
We've wallpapered the floor
We don′t know if we like it
But at least we can be sure
There′s no place like Home Sweet Home

Our boudoir on the open plan
Has been a huge success
Now everywhere's so open
There′s nowhere safe to dress

We're fearfully Maison Jardin
At number 7b
We′ve rediscovered the chandelier
Tres tres very contemporary

We're terribly House and Garden
Now at least we've got the chance
The garden′s full of furniture
And the house is full of plants
It doesn′t make for comfort
But it simply has to be
We're ever so terribly up to date
Contemporarary

We′re terribly House and Garden
As I think we said before
'Though 7b is madly gay
It wouldn′t do for every day
We actually live in 7a
In the house next door
