“Our House” by Madness — revisited and reimagined, adapted into a fresh new version (copyright-friendly). ✅ Mama’s weary, needs a break The kids are running wild awake Sister’s turning in her bed Brother’s rushing plans ahead He can’t stay too long Our home, right in the heart of the block Our home, right in the heart of it all Our place is full, it’s never still There’s always noise, it overfills Our mum keeps it shining bright Never slowing, day or night And no mess is allowed Our home, right in the heart of the block Our home, right in the heart of it all Our home, right in the heart of the block Our home, right in the heart of it all Something tells you sometimes you just need to get away Father wakes up late for work Mother’s ironing his shirt Then she sends the kids to class Waves goodbye, a gentle pass She’s the one they’ll surely miss In so many ways Our home, right in the heart of the block Our home, right in the heart of it all I remember back in time when everything just felt so fine We would share the best of days, endless laughter, endless plays And I recall the way we’d dream, nothing ever came between Two young hearts who chased away the hours with joy Father puts his best clothes on Mother’s tired, the day’s been long Children shouting down the stair Sister sighs without a care Brother’s heading out again He won’t hang around Our home, right in the heart of the block Our home, right in the heart of the block Our home, right in the heart of the block Our home, right in the heart of it all Our home, it’s our castle and our keep Our home, where the memories run deep Our home, right in the heart of the block Our home, forever standing tall
