I see those newlyweds<br>
Their eyes wide and believing
Their eyes wide and believing<br>
 
They bill and coo at the mention of Chez Nous<br>
They bill and coo at the mention of Chez Nous
Appearances can be deceiving<br>
 
<br>
Appearances can be deceiving
It's just a door and a window<br>
 
Four walls and a roof<br>
 
But a home of your own would be shatterproof<br>
 
A door and a window<br>
It's just a door and a window
Four walls and a roof<br>
 
But a home of your own would be shatterproof<br>
Four walls and a roof
<br>
 
We papered over all the cracks<br>
But a home of your own would be shatterproof
And painted a cat's lick and a promise<br>
 
The landlord was a man of few words<br>
A door and a window
And most of them were ominous<br>
 
<br>
Four walls and a roof
It's just a door and a window<br>
 
Four walls and a roof<br>
But a home of your own would be shatterproof
But a home of your own would be shatterproof<br>
 
A door and a window<br>
 
Four walls and a roof<br>
 
But a home of your own would be shatterproof<br>
We papered over all the cracks
<br>
 
It was nothing really to write home about<br>
And painted a cat's lick and a promise
Then one day it all appears too much<br>
 
Here comes my little hammer and its shatterproof touch<br>
The landlord was a man of few words
<br>
 
He said, "Be practical, these are most unreasonable demands<br>
And most of them were ominous
Forget about the broken spectacles and the damage to your hands"<br>
 
It's just a door and a window<br>
 
Four walls and a roof<br>
 
And the doctors say I'm almost shatterproof<br>
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 its shatterproof touch
 
 
 
He said, "Be practical, these are most unreasonable demands
 
Forget about the broken spectacles and the damage to your hands"
 
It's just a door and a window

lyrics for
Shatterproof

I see those newlyweds
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 cat's 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 its shatterproof touch

He said, "Be practical, these are most unreasonable demands
Forget about the broken spectacles and the damage to your hands"
It's just a door and a window
Four walls and a roof
And the doctors say I'm almost shatterproof
