lyrics

There’s a house in Oxley, with thick socks and cold slate floors
Where I spent my youth
Riley grease, a deck in the trees
You can see the brindies if you get up on the roof

But I was never in love with that house
I was in love with the family that we had
And the memories there
Even that girl from Germany

There’s a house on the corner of Northcote and Carleton parade
That we shared for a time
A garden shed insulated
With polystyrene boxes, two friends slept inside

But I was never in love with that house
I was in love with the family that we made
With the people there
Even that guy who stole a bunch of our stuff
