Subject: RE: Songs about Houses, & Homes, & Rooms
"The House of Your Dreams" by Harvey Andrews: about the difference between the estate agents' blurb and the reality, "they never tell you that" e.g.
"It's tasteful, proportioned, and sought after too
Charming and rural and smart
Executive home with exceptional view
Its garden will soon win your heart
But the pleasure of weeding easily cloys
Dogs from next door were born to make noise
And the doors and the windows are painted turquoise
They never tell you that"

This song is on the CD "Somewhere in the Stars" - full of great songs.
