This House Is Not For Sale (Live From The London Palladium)
[Intro: Jon Bon Jovi & ?]
Well good evening and welcome to Sunday night at the fabulous London Palladium
I am your host, Mr. Entertainment, Mr. Bruce Forsyth, and this evening—
Hey, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
What?
It's not Sunday
It's the Palladium, it's Sunday night
It's not Sunday
It's not Sunday?
Nope
And I'm not Bruce Forsyth?
Not today, no
You're not
Well then I must be Jon Bon Jovi
You are
Welcome to the live listening party for This House Is Not for Sale
Strap yourselves in, we're gonna take you on a ride like you never seen before
Cue the house lights
[Verse 1]
These four walls have got a story to tell
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
The door is off the hinges, there's no wish in the well
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Outside the sky is coal black, the streets are on fire
The picture window's cracked and there's nowhere to run
I know, I know
This house is not for sale
[Chorus]
(I set each stone and I hammered each nail) (Oh)
This house is not for sale
(Where memories live and the dream don't fail) (Oh)
This house is not for sale
[Post-Chorus]
(Comin' home)
(I'm comin' home)
[Verse 2]
Drove a spike into the ground and I staked my claim
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Standin' on the dirt where they'll dig my grave
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Now what built these walls is in my veins
No time for lookin' back, the wolf is at the door
This heart, this soul
This house is not for sale
[Chorus]
(I set each stone and I hammered each nail) (Oh)
This house is not for sale
(Where memories live and the dream don't fail) (Oh)
This house is not for sale
[Post-Chorus]
(Comin' home)
(I'm comin' home)
[Bridge]
This house was built on trust
That's what it is and always was
No wreckin' ball would knock it down
'Cause house was built on higher ground
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
(Set each stone and I hammered each nail) (Oh)
This house is not for sale
(Where memories live and the dream don't fail) (Oh)
This house is not for sale
[Post-Chorus]
(Comin' home)
(I'm comin') Home
[Bridge]
(Comin') Home
(I'm comin' home) This house is not for sale
(Comin' home)
(Comin' home)
(Comin' home)
(I'm comin' home) This house is not for sale
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
(Comin' home)
(I'm comin' home)
(Comin' home)
(I'm comin home) This house, aw, it's not for sale
(Comin' home)
(I'm comin' home)
Comin' home
(I'm comin' home) This house is not for sale
