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
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
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.

Alison Moyet This House Comments
Adele who
Mengguncang emosiku, love it
It's brilliant sing.
Literally my favourite song of all time. Heartbreaking. Ms Moyet is such an underrated songwriter.
Whenever I hear this song, I get emotional, it’s so hauntingly beautiful ❤️
Amo este tema!, me encanta desde la primera vez que lo oi. Gracias
What an absolute killer - this really is Alison at her very best xxx
The original Adele
One of the best
Exquisite. Brings me to tears.
Love Love Love this song xx
probebly the best from A M
fantastic xx
Absolutely love this. Even more amazing if you get to see her sing it live.
The most insanely underated female singer EVER!!!!!! Her vocals and lyrics are hauntingly beautiful and the video is stunning XxXxXx
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.
What a voice
if i shouted would anyone give a shit?nope
Şu şarkıyı bu sene hâlâ bir Türk dinliyorsa onunla evlenebilirim 💓
Beautiful song on our planet ....yor love best song are you from turkey lm from Baghdad ....Happy night
Exquisita... un sentimiento que sale de un alma destruida y necesitada , escrito con lagrimas y dolor
Quién...quién ...
siento frío aquí
Goose bumps
Haunting and beautiful .
Sums up the helpless feeling of losing a loved one to dementia.
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
Such a sad song but full of meaning
Both versions of this is great. The one on the love letters B side is the one with the fairlight synth sound in it.
I found this Song in DE,(14th.5.2018)!
It's cold in here, cover me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who can take your place????????? I can't face another day!!!!!!!!!!!
This song is so moving one of the best songs Alison made moves me every time I hear this brilliant tune 😊
I once heard this song when it was released. It used to erect my feelings. I was 15 years old.
I was looking for this but couldn't find it. I thought it was called 'Cover me'. I only found it by accident.
alison one of the greats
Kippevel
Incredible song...its impact never fades
love this gal great song and singer
amazing after all these years
❤Love my 80er90
So fckn perfect 😍😍😍😍
Powerful,Emotioal,Moving.................her finest hour?
Her voice is so beautiful,and powerful one of the greatest singers ever .Forget trash like overated lady Gags .
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 =)
goddess...
pure power and vulnerability spliced together. Amazing talent
great voice
this song is amazing...so unbelievably underrated
what a beautiful voice and beautiful song...
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)...
one ofthe best she`a produced
Whose sticky hands are these
And what is this empty place
I could be happily lost

That used to be full of life

It's cold in here.
Who will shelter me?It's cold in here....So cold....So cold without you my LOVEEEE....<3 <3
Raymond Delaney, I Love & Miss you sooooo much xox
R.I.P Raymond Delaney xx
+phoebe atman <3 xxx
to you pauline,noone gives a toss
Always sends me to tears, so emotive...."I'll shout from my window, to anyone listening...I'm losing". Can relate, as a lot probably can <3 Namaste x
wow ,looking at my comments from ages back,its upsetting but me
real music
my home was a frightened,hope he doesnt,place,this song reminds me
i dont want to face another day,im drunk btw,,im facing another day,its now,im drunk again ,lol laugh
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...
nice video ... but the original version (an 80's B side) is more powerful
+Alexander Salomon Castillo Who sang the original version?
+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!
Love it..🍃💝🍃
memories of my house,lovely song
im crying inside,again. luv this
simply superb
absolutly great song. best regards
"Who will shelter me?"
Your music will.Not your old music.
The music you're writing.
Perfect 🎶🎵🎧
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.
love this song
One of the most beautiful song ever made
I passed the house of Ali every week... ❤️
STUPENDA CANZONE. GRAZIE ALISON MOYET
Great stuff.
So Sweet ~ Love Song ~!!!
goosebumps
Power full prose to song.
credo che questa canzone sia il piu' grande risprtto che ci possa essere nella musica ,,, grazie alison roberto fazio
powala mnie za każdym razem ,gdy słucham tego...przejmujący tekst....KLASA wykonania...
a dziękuję -mało kto,to nagranie docenia!
pewnie, że piękne..tylko mnie zawsze zastanawiało dlaczego tego utworu nie było na LPPT w 1991..92 roku u niedzwieckiego..
@VIK bo nie błlo yt wtedy i nie wiedział że taka nuta istnieje
Zgadzam sie z toba👍👌
Like having your soul ripped apart. So underated.
X Factor contestants. Watch. Learn and GIVE UP!!!!
Hauntingly beautiful. A landmark song in Ms.Moyet's career.
An absolute masterpiece, Saw her live in Hammersmith in 1985, what an experience ! Today`s music is commercial dishwater.
still cant listen to this whole song without blubbering!!!
prachtig nummer !!!!!!!!!!!!!
It hurts me to see something so perfect with no proper recognition. This video deserved millions of views!
Not heard ths for years,and it still puts me back in my seat: haunting and terrifying and gorgeous at once! Wonderful.
I agree with what you say about the emotion and depth being almost crushing. It encapsulates the feeling of loss so well.
simply beautiful
Played it at my brothers
I feel it too, and it's a GREAT feeling!!!
nothing that i can say explains it, you have to feel it, and I DO
Almost perfect About as near as you can get...
Awesome ...
Great song!
Simply genius......
totally amazing.
потрясающий голос, превосходное исполнение песни.
i love and hate this song as i always play it after a break up ! i ressonates with me soooooooooo much
want this track played at my funeral
This is a beautiful song, thank you so much for the upload! Another wonderful song that I can enjoy!
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.
