The Darkness
Planning Permission
[Intro]
I'm gonna build you a house
[Verse 1]
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
[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
[Verse 2]
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
[Guitar Solo]
