lyrics

Hey Number 9
You look so alone
Your lights are on
but nobody’s home

Neighbours walk by
With a wave and a smile
But they talk of nothing
But kitchens and tiles
But not you,
Not you,
Not you

Times run past,
And stolen the light,
I snuck you out early,
And now it’s midnight

Your parents will know
That we were together
Re-using excuses
Like we didn't know better
And it's not like we thought
That we’d do this forever
And ever

Sneak to your room
But don't make a sound
Dream of your day
While night hangs around

You’ll get caught in the hall
With your sister around
And the gate has a squeak
That’ll wake up the hounds
And i’ve heard there are spiders
Underneath the ground
So maybe stick around
Around,
Around

Hey number 9
You look so alone
Hey number 9
You look so alone
Hey number 9
You look like a home

And hey number 9,
You’re looking so cold,
With your collection of antiques,
So precious and old

Hey number 9
You’re a pleasure to see
With your great lantern smiles
That light up the street

And hey number 9
You’re standing so still,
Like a big happy family
On top of a hill

Hey number 9,
Hey number 9,
Hey number 9,
Hey number 9
