Lucifer - House for sale (1975)

Lucifer - House for sale (1975)

The sun 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

Just timeless song. Since 1975, I have never forgotten it. It has such a deep meaning. Directly to my fav's. Bedankt Dirk voor het uploaden!!!

Bestaan er trouwens nog nederlandse bands van kaliber? Iemand?

[justtofun1]

Hollandse pop en rock uit mijn jeugd. Moet nog altijd overtroffen worden.

Doet me telkens weer wegmijmeren naar nooit overtroffen 70ties.

@Musiconcepts Harry or Gloria? In any case I like both your past and current work (looking at the wedding arrangements). Thanks for this classic song which is still underrated.

(i_i) the song that accompanied me when I worked overtime in Kotamobagu, early 2004s...

[oncom2008]

I love this song for all these years. I never knew this song is sung by a female. It was a kind of odd this song was always been using for a wedding in my home country-Indonesia. Just like me, I had no clue what it meant until I come to the US. But the melody was sound so romantic-heartfelt...

[Musiconcepts]

Actually, as the writer of this song, I can tell you the line is "The sign went up"...etc., I remember very well writing it! But I appreciate very much that so many people still care so much about it. I always love finding these videos and love the fact that the song is still relevant.
