"Chaplin House" lyrics

Frabjoy & Runcible Spoon Lyrics

"Chaplin House"

It happens that I know
A little place that I can go
Where Sally Hawkins used to run the show
But that was long before your time
Or hers or mine

Sally had a cameo
And she's wearing it again
Sally always had a way with men
But that was long before your time
Or hers or mine

You've never heard of Chaplin House
But there'll always be Chaplin House

And the picture on the [?]
Running shoulders with the leaves
And the garden that was mine
Mr. Farthing still gets nothing by the score
But he still cries out for more

Seven days a week ago
Mr. Farthing made a day [?]
Sally moved into his bungalow
It would've happened anyway

You've never heard of Chaplin House
But there'll always be Chaplin House

And the showcase of tin soldiers
Standing shoulder next to shoulder
And the bookcase that was mine
And the timepiece that's still ticking on the wall
But it's cuckoo never called

Wish that I was going home
There is nothing left to show
Goodbye Sally and her gigolo
But that was long before your time
Or hers or mine

You've never heard of Chaplin House
But there'll always be Chaplin House
