Our House - Madness
Los primeros 20 sencillos del grupo entraron en el Top 20 británico y tenían un sonido que la propia banda había denominado nutty sound, el cual había evolucionado incluyendo elementos pulidos de pop con grandes dosis de ska, reggae y otras músicas caribeñas. El grupo sólo tuvo un número 1 en las listas británicas, House of Fun, en 1982, aunque estuvo a punto de volverlo a conseguir en 1983 con el sencillo Wings of a Dove. A su vez, el grupo tuvo dos apariciones estelares en la comedia de la BBC The Young Ones (emitida en la Televisión de Cataluña con el título de Els Jovesy en la televisón gallega con el nombre os novos, interpretando House of Fun en 1982, en el episodio Boring de la primera temporada, y Our House , esta canción que aquí os pongo en 1984, en el episodio de la segunda temporada titulado Sick.
Letra:
Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister's sighing in her sleep
Brother's got a date to keep
He can't hang around
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our ...
Our house it has a crowd
There's always something happening
And it's usually quite loud
Our mum she's so house-proud
Nothing ever slows her down
And a mess is not allowed
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our ...
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our ...
Something tells you that you've got to get away from it
Father gets up late for work
Mother has to iron his shirt
Then she sends the kids to school
Sees them off with a small kiss
She's the one they're going to miss
In lots of ways
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our ...
I remember way back then when everything was true and when
We would have such a very good time such a fine time
Such a happy time
And I remember how we'd play simply waste the day away
Then we'd say nothing would come between us two dreamers
Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister's sighing in her sleep
Brother's got a date to keep
He can't hang around
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our ...
Our house, was our castle and our keep
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, that was where we used to sleep
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our street
