Our House Lyrics

Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired, she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister's sighing in her sleep (ah)
Brother's got a date to keep, he can't hang around

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our

Our house, it has a crowd
There's always something happening
And it's usually quite loud
Our mum she's so house-proud
Nothing ever slows her down and a mess is not allowed

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our (something tells you that you've got to move away from it)

Father gets up late for work
Mother has to iron his shirt
Then she sends the kids to school
Sees them off with a small kiss (ah)
She's the one they're going to miss in lots of ways

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our

I remember way back then when everything was true and when
We would have such a very good time, such a fine time
Such a happy time
And I remember how we'd play, simply waste the day away
Then we'd say nothing would come between us
Two dreamers

Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired, she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister's sighing in her sleep
Brother's got a date to keep, he can't hang around

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our

Our house, was our castle and our keep
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, that was where we used to sleep
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our street, our house

What is the Meaning of Our House?

This classic tune encapsulates the nostalgia of a bustling, loving family home. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of an everyday household where each member plays their unique role, creating a sense of familiarity and warmth. The repeated phrase "Our house, in the middle of our street" symbolizes not just the physical location but also the central role this familial setting plays in their lives. It's a microcosm reflecting societal norms and values during that era. Furthermore, it conveys the longing for simpler times when "everything was true," indicating a yearning for authenticity and genuine connection often lost in adulthood. Despite its upbeat tempo, there's an underlying melancholy suggesting the inevitable passage of time and change.
