The Smivets - Each Brick, Each Tile

Each Brick, each tile, tells a story
This is the house where it all began
There to greet you in the doorway
A lovely lady and a grumpy old man

All began in 1990
2 Refugees from London town
Built a house because they figured it might be
Time to think about settling down
First one son and then another
One dog, two cats or sometimes three
All contributing to the madness
Of this functional family
All contributing to the madness
Of this functional family

Here's where martins nest each summer
Here's where the rain-butt overflows
This is where the drifts come up to
In the deepest winter snows
This one marks a graduation
That one there new school first day
Basketball hoop and broken flowerpots
Where we told them not to play
Cracks from back doors slammed in anger
That's the house of rock and roll way

Each Brick, each tile, tells a story
This is the house where it all began
There to greet you in the doorway
A grumpy lady and a nice old man

Bricks and tiles change only slowly
Kids are different each new day
Suddenly boys who just like games
Are bringing girlfriends back to stay
Soon they're gone, and with them, fun
Calm descends like misery
'Til they're back to bring their children
Bringing back blissful anarchy
Hear this rock and roll house rejoicing
All is all as it should be
Hear this rock and roll house rejoicing
All is all as it should be

Each Brick, each tile, tells a story
This is the house where it all began
There to greet you in the doorway
A lovely lady and a tired old man
