lyrics

Oh I'm sick and tired of renting, I want a place to call my own
I've got a roof over my head but now I want a home
I don't need a mansion, two up, two down would do
We'd make our house a home we'd love, me, the dog and you

I just want our Sailor Jerry's Kitchen
And our front room that's exactly like a pub
A chesterfield sofa and a drinks globe by the fire
Oh I don't want much but that would be enough

Oh I'm sick and tired of renting, it's money down the drain
I pay my landlords mortgage, so he's the one who gains
See I quite like my landlord, but I like his house even more
And I'd make him an offer if I wasn't so damn poor

I just want our Sailor Jerry's Kitchen
And our front room that's exactly like a pub
A chesterfield sofa and a drinks globe by the fire
Oh I don't want much but that would be enough

An Englishman's home is his castle, but I am not the king
No I am not the lord and master yet of anything
But that won't last forever, no one day I'll be crowned
One day I will get to put my roots down in the grounds

Mortgage is French for "death grip", or so I once believed
But 30 years of debt is not so daunting now to me
And I'd have my 10% by now, but stuff gets in the way
So I'll stay on the road until I've earned enough to pay

Pay for our Sailor Jerry's Kitchen
And our front room that's exactly like a pub
A chesterfield sofa and a drinks globe by the fire
Oh I don't want much but I'd quite like...
Enough to buy our Sailor Jerry's Kitchen
And our front room that's exactly like an old English pub
A festival back garden with a fire pit and a stage
Oh I don't want much but that would be enough
No I don't want much but that would be enough
