lyrics

Well I get up every morning
And go to work each day
I’ve got a job in a local bar
Just trying to earn my pay
And I’ve got this old guitar
And a hundred songs to sing
Gonna make a load of money
And buy that mansion on the hill

The mansion on the hill it rises high above the trees
It calls to me at night as it wakes me from my dreams
I’ve been living in a small house down the end of Dead End Street
While the mansion on the hill lies empty, all I need’s the key

Well baby I don’t want fortune
And I don’t want no fame
Don’t want no one to know my business
Nor no one to know my name
Cos hard times they will come
And hard times they’ll go
I’ve been waking up at night
With dreams of that mansion on the hill

The mansion on the hill it rises high above the trees
It calls to me at night as it wakes me from my dreams
I’ve been living in a small house down the end of Dead End Street
While the mansion on the hill lies empty, all I need’s the key

Now the dogs on the street are barking
Still I can’t get no sleep
And the man in the alleyway is laughing
He won’t accept defeat
Yeah the homeless man goes hungry
The banker fills his boots
There’s a storm tonight a-ragin’
Above that mansion on the hill

The mansion on the hill it rises high above the trees
It calls to me at night as it wakes me from my dreams
I’ve been living in a small house down the end of Dead End Street
While the mansion on the hill lies empty, all I need’s the key
