Andromreda Heights, lyric by Prefab Sprout

from the songs album Andromeda Heights

We're building a home on the side of a mountain

Above the clouds, next to the sky

And after our labours the stars will be neighbours

We'll take our place with them in space


We're not using concrete or plaster or wood -

They'd lower the tone of our new neighbourhood

And mortar will crumble with age and neglect

We're building our home upon love and respect

And when we've built it we'll call it andromeda heights

When we've built it we'll call it andromeda heights

When we've built it we'll call it andromeda heights


We're building a home on the side of a mountain

Above the clouds, next to the sky

Our plans are ambitious - a blueprint of wishes

That will come true and when they do...


Folks in the valley will look up and say

"you've finally built it can we come and stay ?"

And cynics will marvel and say "we confess -

There were times when we thought it was just an address !

But now that we've seen it we know it's andromeda heights

Now we've seen it we know it's andromeda heights

Now we've seen it we know it's andromeda heights."


We're building a home on the side of a mountain

Above the clouds, next to the sky

And after our labours the stars will be neighbours

We'll take our place with them in space
