There may be some things about me
Things you don't want to hear
For the rumours that precede me
May be very true I fear
They tell you I will deceive you
I don't know how to care
Though my intentions might be good
There's another darker look beware
When you walk through the door
Hang on to your senses
At best you must assume
It's a house of many rooms
Some rooms are filled with pleasure
Laughter and love and light
All the things you never see
I keep under lock and key at night
When you walk through the door
Hang on to your senses
At best you must assume
It's a house of many rooms
If you love me in the light
Love me in the shadow
I'm afraid you must assume
It's a house of many rooms
A house of many rooms
It's a house that's so unstable
There are those who recommend
If they'd the strength and they were able
It ought to be condemned
I don't agree but I will warn you
At best you must assume
I live in a house of many rooms
Here I'm in the library
Trying to understand
What empowers this behaviour
Degenerates the man
The same apartment later
With the bottle half consumed
I see a house of many rooms
In the parlour I'm your father
Who could ask for more
The bedroom compromise me
With your best friend from next door
In the kitchen being honest
The lounge a lying tongue
Locked in the bathroom
Pretending to be young
The chapel finds me kneeling
Praying for my soul
The painting in the attic
Can't prevent me growing old
Help me live forever
Silent as a tomb
I live in a house of many rooms
Join me at the dining table
Join me at the feast
Join me in the stable
I'm laying with the beast
You're walking in the garden
Oblivious who'd know?
I'm in the cellar ready to explode
The lyrics A HOUSE OF MANY ROOMS of MIKE + THE MECHANICS is also present in the album Beggar on a beach of gold (1995)
Mike + The Mechanics è un gruppo musicale britannico formatosi nel 1985 dal bassista e chitarrista dei Genesis Mike Rutherford. La formazione iniziale comprendeva Paul Carrack (ex Roxy Music) alle voci e tastiere, Paul Young (ex Sad Café) alla voce, Adrian Lee alle tastiere e Peter Van Hooke (ex Van Morrison) alla batteria. Il gruppo ha raggiunto il successo internazionale con brani come "The Living Years", "Over My Shoulder" e "Silent Running". La musica di Mike + The Mechanics è caratterizzata da melodie orecchiabili, arrangiamenti sofisticati e testi introspettivi che esplorano temi di amore, perdita e nostalgia. Nel corso degli anni, la formazione del gruppo ha subito diverse variazioni, ma Rutherford rimane il membro costante e principale compositore.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
