[Verse 1] In an old fibro house On an almost quiet street We learnt how to bowl and bat And we learned to find our feet
[Pre-Chorus 1] I wonder if they dug up our pets When they cut into the ground And if you can't still call on the neighbours Or do fences surround?
[Verse 2] I am sure my oldest friend (Ah ah-ah, ah, ah-ah ah) Still lives around the bend (Ooh ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh) I wish I'd kept in touch (Ah ah-ah, ah, ah-ah ah) I still remember her phone number
[Pre-Chorus 2] And the boy across the road Who called me a fruitcake when he saw Me dance to Britney Spears in the mirror I'd never given anyone the finger before
[Chorus] Oh, I wish I'd known The chance to show you my childhood home
[Verse 3] One sunny summer day (In the afternoon) My mother cloaked our house (On that quiet street) In bright purple paint (Ah ah-ah, ah, ah-ah ah) And dad didn't notice for a week
[Pre-Chorus 3] Out the back, where the snowdrops grew And the grass got high as your knees Children, face the threat of dinner on the back step If you forgot your Qs and Ps
[Chorus] Oh, I wish I'd known The chance to show you my childhood home
Maybe in my twilight years, I'll come Make a home here when the battle's won Only hope I have found someone by then...
