Alison Moyet - This House Lyrics






Whose sticky hands are these
And what is this empty place
I could be happily lost
But for your face
Here stands an empty house
That used to be full of life
Now it's home for no one
And his wife
It's a hovel and

(Who)
Who can take your place
I can't face another day
And
(Who)
Who will shelter me
It's cold in here
Cover me

Under these fingertips
A strange body rolls and dips
I close my eyes
And you're here again
Later as day descends
I'll shout from my window
To anyone listening
I'm losing

(Who)
Who can take your place
I can't face another day
And
(Who)
Who will shelter me
It's cold in here
Cover me

Oh, in a plague of hateful questioning
Tap dancing every syllable from ear to ear
I hear the din of lovers jousting
When I'm hiding with my head to the wall
So

(Who)
Who will shelter me
It's cold in here.

    probebly the best from A M

  13. s.... t....

    fantastic xx

  14. D.... T....

    Absolutely love this. Even more amazing if you get to see her sing it live.

  15. S.... L....

    The most insanely underated female singer EVER!!!!!! Her vocals and lyrics are hauntingly beautiful and the video is stunning XxXxXx

    S.... L....

    No I don't agree with you she was huge in the 80s. Loved yazoo.. And when she went solo she had a lot of hits.

  16. A.... B....

    What a voice

  17. S.... ....

    if i shouted would anyone give a shit?nope

  18. �.... .....

    Beautiful song on our planet ....yor love best song are you from turkey lm from Baghdad ....Happy night

  19. k.... N....

    Exquisita... un sentimiento que sale de un alma destruida y necesitada , escrito con lagrimas y dolor
    Quién...quién ...
    siento frío aquí

  20. C.... S....

    Goose bumps

  21. M.... S....

    Haunting and beautiful .

  22. S.... W....

    Sums up the helpless feeling of losing a loved one to dementia.

    S.... W....

    Your comment almost moved me as much as the song. I'm seeing my mum slip away to that awful disease - and Alison's lyrics really resonate - especially about the house that used to be full of life. xx

  23. S.... W....

    Such a sad song but full of meaning

  24. M.... M....

    Both versions of this is great. The one on the love letters B side is the one with the fairlight synth sound in it.

  25. E.... R....

    I found this Song in DE,(14th.5.2018)!

  26. C.... C....

    It's cold in here, cover me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who can take your place????????? I can't face another day!!!!!!!!!!!

    I once heard this song when it was released. It used to erect my feelings. I was 15 years old.

  29. J.... D....

  38. m.... 7....

    Her voice is so beautiful,and powerful one of the greatest singers ever .Forget trash like overated lady Gags .

    m.... 7....

    Why do you have to degrade other artists like that? Lady Gaga is one of the most powerful and talented female vocalists, singers/songwriters to be alive. Alison is great in her own way, Lady Gaga is great in her own way. ''Overrated Trash'' doesn't get Grammies, Oscars and Golden Globes =)

  39. E.... F....

    goddess...

  40. Y.... ....

    pure power and vulnerability spliced together. Amazing talent

  41. m.... m....

    what a beautiful voice and beautiful song...

  44. P.... K....

    Hi All, Sony Music has finally decided to release a `Deluxe Edition` of this brilliant album by Alison. It will feature all the `B-sides` that were release with singles during this album, remixes and a never previously released or heard track `Dig a Hole`...It has been a long a campaign by many of her followers for them to do this but persistence is the key! It will be released on November 25 (2016)...

  45. a.... T....

    one ofthe best she`a produced

  46. p.... a....

    Whose sticky hands are these
    And what is this empty place

    And his wife
    It's a hovel and

    So

    Who will shelter me
    It's cold in here.

  54. P.... K....

    Hi All,In a recent interview that she did, Alison said that of all the songs that she wrote individually or as a co-written song, this is the one that she is most proud of...too right what a brilliant song and one that was never played listed on Radio...What a shame...

  55. A.... S....

    nice video ... but the original version (an 80's B side) is more powerful

    A.... S....

    +Alexander Salomon Castillo Who sang the original version?

    A.... S....

    +Laura Burlacu the original is Alison as well. Its the b side to love letters. And funny how tastes differ, I never cared much for the original but when this came out.....it can still bring me to tears, its that strong!

  56. S.... M....

    Love it..🍃💝🍃

  57. S.... ....

    memories of my house,lovely song

  58. N.... W....

    im crying inside,again. luv this

  59. N.... A....

    simply superb

  60. L.... C....

    absolutly great song. best regards

  61. D.... E....

    "Who will shelter me?"
    Your music will.Not your old music.
    The music you're writing.

  62. P.... ....

    Perfect 🎶🎵🎧

  63. D.... ....

    I have loved this song for ages. I didn't even realise there was a vid to it. Talk about a double bonus one hell of an emotional song and finding a vid. This is one for two of my playlists.

    This is one woman who shows that the so called ideal is not all it is set up to be. She is beautiful and that beauty outshines any of the so called ideal women that the media portrays.

  64. H.... ....

    love this song

  65. A.... ....

    One of the most beautiful song ever made

    A.... ....

    I passed the house of Ali every week... ❤️

  66. U.... E....

    STUPENDA CANZONE. GRAZIE ALISON MOYET

  72. R.... �....

    R.... �....

    a dziękuję -mało kto,to nagranie docenia!

    R.... �....

    pewnie, że piękne..tylko mnie zawsze zastanawiało dlaczego tego utworu nie było na LPPT w 1991..92 roku u niedzwieckiego..

    R.... �....

    @VIK bo nie błlo yt wtedy i nie wiedział że taka nuta istnieje

    R.... �....

    Zgadzam sie z toba👍👌

  73. A.... W....

    Like having your soul ripped apart. So underated.
    X Factor contestants. Watch. Learn and GIVE UP!!!!

  74. J.... C....

    Hauntingly beautiful. A landmark song in Ms.Moyet's career.

  75. t.... ....

    An absolute masterpiece, Saw her live in Hammersmith in 1985, what an experience ! Today`s music is commercial dishwater.

  76. a.... w....

    still cant listen to this whole song without blubbering!!!

  77. a.... e....

    prachtig nummer !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  78. M.... W....

    It hurts me to see something so perfect with no proper recognition. This video deserved millions of views!

  79. R.... P....

    Not heard ths for years,and it still puts me back in my seat: haunting and terrifying and gorgeous at once! Wonderful.

  80. c.... ....

    I agree with what you say about the emotion and depth being almost crushing. It encapsulates the feeling of loss so well.

  81. N.... m....

    simply beautiful

  82. M.... F....

    Played it at my brothers

  83. E.... D....

    I feel it too, and it's a GREAT feeling!!!

  84. N.... W....

    nothing that i can say explains it, you have to feel it, and I DO

  85. A.... P....

    Almost perfect About as near as you can get...

  86. i.... l....

    Awesome ...

  87. N.... ....

    Great song!

  88. E.... C....

    Simply genius......

  89. J.... H....

    totally amazing.

  90. S.... K....

    потрясающий голос, превосходное исполнение песни.

  91. c.... b....

    i love and hate this song as i always play it after a break up ! i ressonates with me soooooooooo much

  92. A.... M....

    want this track played at my funeral

  93. F.... V....

    This is a beautiful song, thank you so much for the upload! Another wonderful song that I can enjoy!

  94. s.... ....

    This is why I love Alison. The emotion and depth of this is almost crushing. And the voice, like no other.
    Today's pop tartlets simply don't have this kind of talent or capability.
