    Lyrics:
    Father wears his Sunday best
    Mother's tired, she needs a rest
    The kids are playing up downstairs
    Sister's sighing in her sleep
    Brother's got a date to keep
    He can't hang around
    Our house, in the middle of our street
    Our house, in the middle of our
    Our house it has a crowd
    There's always something happening
    And it's usually quite loud
    Our mum, she's so house-proud
    Nothing ever slows her down
    And a mess is not allowed
    Our house, in the middle of our street
    Our house, in the middle of our
    Our house, in the middle of our street
    Our house (Something tells you)
    (That you've got to move away from it) In the middle of our
    Father gets up late for work
    Mother has to iron his shirt
    Then she sends the kids to school
    Sees them off with a small kiss (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
    She's the one they're going to miss
    In lots of ways
    Our house, in the middle of our street
    Our house, in the middle of our
    I remember way back then
    When everything was true and when
    We would have such a very good time
    Such a fine time, such a happy time
    And I remember how we'd play
    Simply waste the day away
    Then we'd say nothing would come between us
    Two dreamers
    Father wears his Sunday best
    Mother's tired she needs a rest
    The kids are playing up downstairs
    Sister's sighing in her sleep
    Brother's got a date to keep
    He can't hang around
    Our house, in the middle of our street
    Our house, in the middle of our street
    Our house, in the middle of our street
    Our house, in the middle of our
    Our house, was our castle and our keep
    Our house, in the middle of our street
    Our house, that was where we used to sleep
    Our house, in the middle of our street
    Our house

    I have happy memories of that song. A few months after my father passed, my mum and I managed to pay off our mortgage for our house with hard work. Shortly before midnight we transferred the last sum and danced to this song at 12 o'clock sharp, singing along at the top of our lungs. Somewhere I found a confetti cannon and it rained golden glitter. Great memories

    Lyrics tell you about that 70s sensation and music tells you about the eighties, when you just heard the song and you were just a boy.

      Eventually, we punched out our differences and teamed up to defeat Robotnik's giant robot and recovered the Master Emerald, hence saving the universe. Hooray! And you're welcome. And then, Knuckles, Tails, and I became friends and roommates! Now, with all the hero stuff out of the way, Knuckles' only mission is to relax and enjoy Earth, which might be harder than it sounds.

    Our house it has a crowd
    There's always something happening
    And it's usually quite loud
    Our mum she's so house-proud

    Then she sends the kids to school
    Sees them off with a small kiss
    She's the one they're going to miss in lots of ways
    Our house, in the middle of our street

    I remember way back then when everything was true and when
    We would have such a very good time such a fine time

    And I remember how we'd play, simply waste the day away
    Then we'd say nothing would come between us
