I was brought up in an ideal home
Bay windows let the sun shine through
Natural light chased the shadows
I was brought up in an ideal home

In an ideal home nothing you do can go wrong
In an ideal home everything's safe and you can
Sit by the fire, read a good book or watch TV

Miserable songs from the house next door
Perhaps they're planning to end it all
They should come around to our house
Like the sunshine, in our ideal home

In an ideal home nothing you do can go wrong
In an ideal home there's never an awkward silence
Turn out the lights, sit in the dark and watch the stars
Everything's safe in an ideal home

In an ideal home
In an ideal home
In an ideal home
