They built the new estate on the fields at the edge of the forest Four hundred brand new and affordable homes, up near the radio tower Show homes showed us what our lives could be Then two by two by two by two the people found their plots We were the first ones to move in The number on the door is how you tell it's yours Every neighbours home, you know your way around The pictures might be different, but the walls are all the same Seventeen and needing room to breathe The last one to appreciate it, I'm the first one in this house to leave This house is smaller now This house is smaller now So you start brand new lives. Everything together, both of you, all the time Until the shadows on the scan appeared And the days you took as given, quickly turn into a gift Then the doctor sat us both down to explain There's nothing they can do now He's not coming to this house again This house is shrinking now This house is shrinking now This house is shrinking now So now it's only you Do you really need so much space now you're living life alone? Even though the kids still call You can't quite place the voices, you can't quite find their names One day everything you ever owned was emptied on the floor They reckon it's not safe for you to be in this house anymore This house is vacant now This house is vacant now And now we're there unpacking things. Boxes inside boxes inside boxes full of everything you ever did Diaries of feelings that you'd never ever shown Photographs of all the other houses you'd called home Every single thing Is every single thing Every single thing Is every single thing And it's your things And it's his things And it's my things And it's our things And if we pack carefully we can do it in one load With the man and his van, who's taking it all away today Leaving the empty shell that's left of where we'd been Ready for the next ones to move in This house is empty now This house is empty now This house is empty now This house is empty now This house is ready to move on This house is ready now we're gone This house is ready to move on This house is ready now we're gone This house is ready to move on This house is ready now we're gone This house is ready to move on This house is ready now we're gone
