Shatterproof lyrics
I see those newly weds
Their eyes wide and believing
They bill and coo at the mention of chez nous
Appearances can be deceiving
It's just a door and a window
Four walls and a roof
But a home of your own
Would be shatterproof
A door and a window
Four walls and a roof
But a home of your own
Would be shatterproof
We papered over all the cracks
And painted a cats lick and a promise
The landlord was a man of few words
And most of them were ominous
It's just a door and a window
Four walls and a roof
But a home of your own
Would be shatterproof
A door and a window
Four walls and a roof
But a home of your own
Would be shatterproof
It was nothing really to write home about
Then one day it all appears too much
Here comes my little hammer
And it's shatterproof touch
He said, be practical
These are most unreasonable demands
Forget about the broken spectacles
And the damage to your hand
It's just a door and a window
Four walls and a roof
And the doctors say
I'm almost shatterproof
Part of these releases
