I've put several " House Lists" on here, but they're mostly fictional ones , or untraceable, or reclusive .... ... 778-whats-their-house-list-no-1.html 780-whats-their-house-list-2.html 788-the-house-at-pooh-corner.html ... but this one is the abode of a real person ! .... not some stuffed bear, or reclusive royal ........ ..... yes, you've probably guessed who it is ... So ...we're looking good here ..... for a start, 'tis in the USA, which has a lot more birds in it than we have in our tiny ,rainy, cold and battered little island. And what with Trumpo being filthy rich, he's probably got Packham-sized telescopes* in every window, and extensive grounds with lakes and pergolas and woods etc ..... so we're probably looking at 230 + species at least .... and with the height of the building, he can probably see stuff miles away. And what with him being unable to tell the truth 97% of the time, he has probably conjured up quite a few " suspicious sightings" over the years. If he was really smart, he could "invent" lots of splits ....a wily twerp like him could dream up at least 20 new versions of Roadrunner for a start. And now, an appropriate and bloody marvellous rendering of " Such Great Heights" * See previous post I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles In our eyes are mirror images and when We kiss they're perfectly aligned And I have to speculate that God himself Did make us into corresponding shapes like Puzzle pieces from the clay And true, it may seem like a stretch, but Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled Head when you're away when I am missing you to death When you are out there on the road for Several weeks of shows and when you scan The radio, I hope this song will guide you home They will see us waving from such great Heights, 'come down now,' they'll say But everything looks perfect from far away, 'come down now,' but we'll stay... I tried my best to leave this all on your Machine but the persistent beat it sounded Thin upon listening And that frankly will not fly. You will hear The shrillest highs and lowest lows with The windows down when this is guiding you home They will see us waving from such great Heights, 'come down now,' they'll say But everything looks perfect from far away, 'come down now,' but we'll stay... ( if that isn't a perfect song, then what is ?) (It's also been performed by The Postal Service, Ben Gibbard and , of course, The Wrong Trousers and many many more .... and now, you, should you choose to sing along with this handy video that shows you all the words in the right order ! )
