"Planning Permission" lyrics - THE DARKNESS

THE DARKNESS
"Planning Permission"

I'm gonna build you... a house

I'm a man with two good hands
Two good hands and a plot of land
And I'm on a mission
I've got a vision and planning permission
I've got twenty-thousand bricks to lay
Honey, I don't have a place to stay
I've just got this canvas tent
And a machine to mix the cement

Do you think I've lost the plot?
I have not!
I've sheltered you from the rain
You and I will defy the elements again

I need a home in which to revel
I need a place to keep my spirit level
And I know the right guys
'Cause I used to work in building supplies
Crafting a humble abode
Concrete and steel by the wheelbarrow load
Fittings to choose, colour charts to peruse
I've got a trowel and I ain't afraid to use it

[Chorus:]
Do you think I've lost the plot?
I have not!
I've sheltered you from the rain
You and I will defy the elements again

Woo!

[Solo]
