Nice House In The Woods
words and music by Stephen Barling

I used to live in a nice house in the woods
(you would have loved it)
'twas such a perfect little nice house in the woods
(you'd really love it)
right out of town
just past the light
we're getting down in the middle of the night
in my perfect little nice house in the woods

Needed a room-mate for my nice house in the woods
(you would have loved it)
who can afford a little nice house in the woods
(you'd really like it)
picked out a friend
said, "move on in
just don't be messing with that bottle of gin
out at my perfect little nice house in the woods"

Now it's a party at my nice house in the woods
(you would have loved it)
'cuz every night out at my nice house in the woods
(you'd really love it)
my room-mate's friends
come rolling in
and get all freaky with that bottle of gin
out at my perfect little nice house in the woods

I couldn't stand it at my nice house in the woods
(you would have loved it)
grand central station at my nice house in the woods
(you'd really like it)
my name is Stephen
they call me "Steve"
I just said "fuck it," guess its time for me to leave
my awesome perfect little nice house in the woods

Lost my deposit on my nice house in the woods
(you would have loved it)
needed new carpet for my nice house in the woods
(you'd really love it)
the party stains
won't go away
so now I'm slaving just to pay my landlady
to fix my perfect little nice house in the woods
