Paul Kelly
House Of Love
[Verse 1: Linda]
Something's burning in the house of love
We've gotta get out somehow
If we ever needed help from above
I know that we need it now
You and I are like firewood
And there's smoke in this neighbourhood
Ah-ha, something's burning in the house of love

[Verse 2: Linda, Both]
We can pray for the cool of the rain
But will it begin to fall?
An ill wind to stir up the flame
Has come to remind us all
We need more than a fire brigade
To clean up this mess we've made

[Chorus 1: Linda, Both]
Something's burning in the house of love
There's a fire in the house of love
Sparks flying in the house of love
There's a fire

[Verse 3: Linda, Both]
We can lay down and try to believe
That we're safe and sound
But somewhere a spark that we leave
Is burning us to the ground
These tears falling down like rain
Try to make alright again
[Chorus 1: Linda, Both]
Something's burning in the house of love
There's a fire in the house of love
Sparks flying in the house of love
There's a fire in the house of love

[Chorus 2: Linda, Both]
Something's burning
There's a fire
Sparks flying
There's a fire

[Verse 4: Linda, Both]
If we ever get out alive
Then maybe we'll start again
If love has a way to survive
I know that I'll find you then
When time gets the healing done
When every river rolls as one, until then

[Chorus 1: Linda, Both]
Something's burning in the house of love
There's a fire in the house of love
Sparks flying in the house of love
There's a fire in the house of love
[Chorus 2: Both]
Something's burning
There's a fire
Sparks flying
There's a fire

[Chorus 1: Linda, Both]
Something's burning in the house of love
There's a fire in the house of love
Sparks flying in the house of love
There's a fire

[Chorus 2: Linda, Both]
Something's burning
There's a fire
Sparks flying
There's a fire

[Outro: Linda]
Burning, burning, burning
