Lyrics:

The sign went up one rainy morning
Just a couple of hours after dawn
Mrs. Hadley peaked out through her curtains
Wondering what was going on

The neighbors said over coffee cups
That nice young couple is breaking up

And in the living room the linen and the crystals
Sit all packed and set to go
I tell myself once more I won't be here in spring
To see my roses grow

And all the things you tried to fix
The roof still leaks, the door still sticks

House for sale
You can read it on the sign
House for sale
It was yours and it was mine

And tomorrow some strangers
Will be climbing up the stairs
To the bedroom filled with memories
The one we used to share

I know you've always loved that painting
From that funny little shop in Spain
Remember how we found it when we ducked in
From that sudden summer rain

But I think I'll keep the silver tray
My mother gave us on our wedding day

House for sale
You can read it on the sign
House for sale
It was yours and it was mine

And tomorrow some strangers
Will be climbing up the stairs
To the bedroom filled with memories
The one we used to share

House for sale
You can read it on the sign
House for sale
It was yours and it was mine

And tomorrow some strangers
Will be climbing up the stairs
To the bedroom filled with memories
The one we used to share

House for sale
You can read it on the sign
House for sale
It was yours and it was mine

And tomorrow some strangers
Will be climbing up the stairs
To the bedroom filled with memories
The one we used to share

House for sale
You can read it on the sign
House for sale, oho
It was yours and it was mine

And tomorrow some strangers
Will be climbing up the stairs
To the bedroom filled with memories
The one we used to share

I'll have a go, Robbie. Without a net. I have downloaded a tab of the song but not the youtube so I have no idea whatsoever how the song sounds or is arranged. All I know is that it is 4/4, 66 bpm & is sung by a woman.

I will listen to the youtube when I have finished.....I am looking forward to this ! It could only be better if it was sung in Dutch !

Great choice Robbie. Let's jump in the dark here. Bear in mind that i'm still on the learning slope and that i'm not into metall and punk. I'll reserve the right to refuse if i don't like it but i'd like to try an assignement too.

I'll give you an assignment too, Dirk.

I'll listen to a few of your recordings again first to be able to come up with something that specifically suits the sound of your voice. Give me a day or two.

In Germany we have a song called "Wer hat den Käse zum Bahnhof gerollt!"

For the guys who are not speaking german, I translate: "Who rolled the cheese to the station!"

Maybe a song for Robbie?

Why would I roll my cheese to the station?

For SchienenKäse??

No, to sent it to Robbie!

Ah, I misunderstood. Rolling cheese by any means towards 51.654 N, 4.869 E is a good idea. Schienen oder keine Schienen, bring on the Käse!
