Depreston - MTV Unplugged (Live In Melbourne)

You said we should look out further
I guess it wouldn't hurt us
We don't have to be around all these coffee shops

Now we've got that percolator
Never made a latte greater
I'm savin' 23 dollars a week

We drive to a house in Preston
We see police arresting
A man with his hand in a bag

How's that for first impressions
This place seems depressing
It's a California bungalow in a caul-de-sac

It's got a lovely garden
And a garage for two cars to park in
Or a lot of room for storage if you've just got one

And it's going pretty cheap, you say?
Well, it's a deceased's estate
Aren't the pressed Metal ceilings great?

Then I see the hand rail in the shower
A collection of those canisters for coffee tea and flower
And a photo of a young man in a van in Vietnam

And I can't think of floor boards anymore
Whether the front room faces south or north
And I wonder what she bought it for

If you've got a spare half a million
You could knock it down and start rebuilding
If you've got a spare half a million
You could knock it down and start rebuilding

If you've got a spare half a million
You could knock it down and start rebuilding
If you've got a spare half a million
You could knock it down and start rebuilding
