Rooms In the Sky
It's nigh on fifty years since i moved into this street
And there's no kinder people you could ever hope to meet
But I've had a note from council, a young chap brought it 'round
He said that very soon they're going to knock our houses down.
But he told me not to worry
They've just the place for me
A brand-new flat not far from here
Just waiting there to see
So I thought I'd take a stroll 'round there and give the place the eye
But it came as quite a shock to find it fifteen stories high
Oh I don't want to leave me old two-up, two-down
It isn't much to look at but at least it's on the ground
It would surely break my heart for me to say goodbye
When they move me to that room up in the sky
Well I asked me next-door neighbour why we have got to go
But he was none the wiser, no one seems to know
He said there were a rumour that he heard the other day
Someone said they need the space to build a motorway
So now I'll have to pack me bags
It's going to be a squeeze
There isn't a suitcase large enough to hold me memories
And I can't take me old dog Ben 'cause pets, they aren't allowed
They say he won't be suited to a life amongst the clouds

Oh I don't want to leave me old two-up, two-down
It isn't much to look at but at least it's on the ground
It would surely break my heart for me to say goodbye
When they move me to that room up in the sky
Just the other day I saw me old friend, Mrs. Brown
She has a flat, the same as mine
On t'other side of town
She said it's nice and cosy but there's one thing, makes her vexed:
She doesn't see a single soul from one day to the next
Well the more I think about it
The more I want to stay
I wish that I could close me eyes and make it go away
The only consolation, I'll say to be quite fair
I'm sure to get to heaven, 'cause I'll be half way there
Oh I don't want to leave me old two-up, two-down
It isn't much to look at but at least it's on the ground
It would surely break my heart for me to say goodbye
When they move me to that room up in the sky
When they move me to that room up in the sky
