Save This House Lyrics

I'm not worried, it's a million miles away
Yeah I saw the news, happens every day
Some Cronkite look-a-like
Numb from what he's reading
Wake me up! Wake me up!
It's one of us that's screamin'

Save this house
Save this house
Save this house
Save this house

Save this house, the party's gotta end
The welcome mat's worn out
And the roof will never mend
The furniture's on fire
This house is a disgrace
Someone change the locks
Before we trash this place

Save this house
Save this house
Save this house
Save this house

I'm not worried it's a 1,000,000 miles away
Yeah, I saw the news it happened yesterday
Some Cronkite look-a-like
Numb from what he read
Wake me up! Wake me up!
It's one of us that's dead

Save this house
Save this house
Save this house
Save this house
Save this house
Save this house
Save this house
Save this house

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

A Canadian classic! "...the roof will never mend, the furniture's on fire, this house is a disgrace" - clearly a comment on our destruction of the environment - Geoff and John were ahead of their times. RIP John Mann, you will be missed!
