Looking at the world, through lace curtains
Would they like you out there? You're not certain

Scared of walking down the street
You never know who you might meet
Or who you might bump into
They're out there waiting for you

Housebound
You daren't go out
Because you're housebound
You don't want to go out
Because you're housebound
There's no way out
Because you're housebound
You daren't go out!

Rearrange the ornaments when you're feeling down
Push the hoover round and round what a lovely sound!

Housebound
You're all left out
Because you're housebound
You don't want to go out
Because you're housebound
You scream and shout
Because you're housebound
You daren't go out!

The moths inside the wardrobe
The mirror on the door
Love your latest outfit
That's what friends are for!

Housebound!
You daren't go out
Because you're housebound
You don't want to go out
Because you're housebound
You scream and shout
Because you're housebound
You don't go out!
Housebound

You're living in doubt
Because you're housebound
You don't want to go out
Because you're housebound
There's no way out
Because you're housebound
You don't go out!

People calling just distract you from the endless talk
Of changing channel, brightness, volume, colour and contrast
There's a curfew on you, you're losing all contact
You just don't know what to do, You're caught in a housetrap!

Housebound
You're all left out
Because you're housebound
You don't want to go out
Because you're housebound
You scream and shout
Because you're housebound
You daren't go out
