What are you wishing for?
What are you looking for?
What are you hoping for today?
What are you listening to?
What are you whistling to?
What are you moving to today?
Think about the kind of rates
He charges for this dower place
The damp that's creeping down towards
The old abandoned fire place
Stop and try to contemplate
The price you pay to compensate
The absentee proprietor
To lay around and fill his face
It shouldn't matter
When all is said and done
He likes you in a most peculiar way
And all the omens
That you yourself will face
Will affect you in a most peculiar way
What are you smiling for?
What are you dialling for?
What are you longing for today?
What are you gonna to do?
What did your parents do?
What will your conscious do today?
Think about the kind of rates
He charges for this dower place
The damp that's creeping down towards
The old abandoned fire place
Stop and try to contemplate
The price you pay to compensate
The absentee proprietor
To lay around and fill his face
It shouldn't matter
When all is said and done
He likes you in a most peculiar way
And all the omens
That you yourself will face
Will affect you in a most peculiar way
Where have you been? You say to him
He answers I don't have to say
But you've had enough, he isn't so tough
If he thinks to hurt you is okay
It shouldn't matter
When all is said and done
He likes you in a most peculiar way
And all the omens
That you yourself will face
Will affect you in a most peculiar way
It shouldn't matter
When all is said and done
You know he likes you
In a most peculiar way
In a most peculiar way
In a most peculiar way
