Song about a home in need of repair.
One man band with more patience than talent.
After my old 16 track got struck by lightning, it was time to go digital. The result is several years of slaving over a hot keyboard.

Story behind the song
My wife is always complaining about things that need fixing around the house, but I never seem to get around to fixing them (maybe I'm always writing songs?). This song is inspired by a few things wrong with our house (you'll have to figure out which are real and which are fictional).
Lyrics
We’ve got holes in the roof and I’m feeling sad We’ve got ants in pantry and a hole in the head Crumbs in the kitchen and the roaches are twitching And to make matters worse, the house is cursed Dream home, such a clean home A welcome retreat From the sounds and the smells of the street The neighbors got mulch and we got zilch We’ve got so many weeds they’ve turned into trees The counter tops are old and the deck is full of mold And to make matters worse, the house is cursed Dream home, such a clean home A welcome retreat From the sounds and the smells of the street The refrigerator’s groaning and the dryer is moaning The burner’s always glowing and I don’t want you knowing The front door is mildewed and the fogger nearly killed you And to make matters worse, the house is cursed Dream home, such a clean home A welcome retreat From the sounds and the smells of the street
