Depreston - Courtney Barnett

It's a California bungalow in a caul-de-sac

A garage for two cars to park in

Whether the front room faces south or north

You said we should look out further

I guess it wouldn't hurt us

We don't have to be around all these coffee shops

Now we got that percolator

Never made a latte greater

I'm savin' twenty three dollars a week

We drive to a house in Preston

We see police arresting

A man with his hand in a bag

This place seems depressing

It's got a lovely garden

Or a lot of room for storage if you've just got one

And it's going pretty cheap you say

Well it's a deceased's estate

Aren't the pressed Metal ceilings great

And I see the hand rail in the shower

A colleciton of those canisters for coffee tea and flower

And a photo of a young man in a van in Vietnam

And I can't think of floor boards anymore

And I wonder what she bought it for

If you've got a spare half a million

You could knock it down and start rebuilding
