letra de shotgun house - live in london - jamie lenman

[spoken intro]
so this was one of, maybe the surprise hit off the record, i didn’t realise that people were gonna like this one this much
so i played it every set, and if you’re sick of it, that’s your own fault, this is called shotgun house
(1, 2, 3, 4)

[verse 1]
back in the 19th century on southern us land
they built a simple type of house
and many still do stand
the people called them ‘shotgun house,’
from the african word
just three or four rooms back-to-back
and i’ma get me one, son

[chorus]
when i get that shotgun house
you can visit all the time
i will move from back porch to front door
by walking a straight line
oh yes, when i get that shotgun house
that will be something fine, i see you
i will finally have a place
i can call mine

[verse 2]
oh, now, yes, i am an english man;
from oxford, if you please
but when it comes to settling down
i may look overseas
for i have travelled far and wide
to places foul and fair
and i have loved america
since i was married there, yeah
[chorus]
when i get that shotgun house
you can visit all the time
i will move from back porch to front door
by walking a straight line
oh yes, when i get that shotgun house
it will be something fine
i will finally have a place i can call mine
ok take it away, let’s go

[instrumental break]

[chorus]
oh yes
ok, come on everyone, lets sing
when i get that shotgun house
i will be happy there
oh the summer breeze will blow right through
like its the central air
oh yes, just to own a shotgun house
will be a splendid thing
i will sing the way my daddy used to sing

[outro]
on the banks m, i, double s, i, double s, i, (p p i)
great stuff
that was really cooking, that was really great, right?
come on, come on
we’re gonna have chris back, let’s hear it for chris
he’s gonna play the ca-, this is the bit of the evening that chris has been waiting all night for
you watch him
he’s a g*nius
