LOVELY HOUSES

You kiss and hug and make love beneath the roofs of lovely houses. You laugh and eat and play in the rooms of lovely houses. You kill overseas just to heat your lovely houses and you sometimes kill each other inside your lovely houses. Oh lovely houses, lovely houses and the triumphs and travails of those who live within them. 
 
Kids climb the trees in the gardens of lovely houses and they get under the tables in the kitchens of lovely houses and when they grow up they save money to buy lovely houses and they paint their lovely houses and constantly talk about their lovely houses and buy magazines about other people's lovely houses.

Animals live in kennels and stables and sheds - not lovely houses. Birds use twigs to build tree top nests - not lovely houses. Eskimos live in igloos that melt, unlike lovely houses, and the Cheyenne thought it best to live in tents - not lovely houses. The banks might have to repossess a huge amount of lovely houses and families will have to go and rent a whole new pile of lovely houses.

Did you hear that they were planning to build an estate in Kinnegad called Lovely Houses? Did you hear they premiered a TV soap called Lovely Houses? Did you know that there’s a pornstar from LA named Lovely Houses? Last night I fell asleep and I dreamt of lovely houses. Tsunamis came and swept away streets and streets of lovely houses. Oh lovely houses, lovely houses and the triumphs and travails of those who die within them.
