Property Market Blues

Inspired by the poet Jon Cooper Clarke

I'm leaving home,

and I need a loan,

cos I need a room,

and I need it soon.

 

But you gotta pay 

for a place to stay, 

I might have to go for 

my cousin's sofa

 

But that feels wrong,

so it won't last long.

And as the years pass,

I save some cash.

 

I find a place

to call my own space.

I make it mine,

and I'm feeling fine.

 

Then I meet a girl,

and she changes my world.

And I find I'd prefer,

to hang out with her.

 

So we're getting married,

But I'm feeling harried.

Because she says maybe,

she wants a baby!

 

So we're looking around

the nice parts of town.

This place meets our needs,

so I signed the deeds.

 

Now we've paid off the loan.

And our house is our own.

After all of the hassle,

my home is my castle.
