| Comments: | I didn't
have much to do with this track ... it's mostly Mutt's and Bryan's. "House Arrest" started as a completely different song, titled "Bouncin' Of The Walls" (see the "Lost Album" page). It included the lyric "wakin' up the neighbours, we're bouncin' off the walls tonight", which Mutt and Bryan borrowed for "House Arrest". In fact, Mutt discarded everything from the original "Bouncin' Of The Walls" song except for the verse lyric. |

| Lyrics: | Well there's
gonna be a party gonna make some noise Yeah we're invitin' all the girls - invitin' all the boys There'll be dancin' on the tables dancin' on the chairs Ya there'll be dancin' in the parkin' lots And up and down the stairs - alright Close the windows - lock the doors Turn it up now - pack the floors Cops are on the outside - landlord's on the phone Quick turn out all the lights Pretend there ain't nobody home! It's a house arrest - everybody run I gotta plead guilty havin' - too much fun This is a house arrest - up against the wall We can't stop rockin' justa havin' a ball - One and all Won't you come around to my place Don't cha know it's overdue You gotta bring your little lady wear your dancin' shoes Get a Yellow Taxi - take a limousine You gotta get there - it's gonna be a scene It's too late can't wait - get out while you can It was fun while it lasted let's do it all again It's a house arrest - everybody run I gotta plead guilty havin' - too much fun This is a house arrest - up against the wall We can't stop rockin' justa havin' a ball - One and all We bin wakin' up the neighbours Bouncin' off the walls Hangin' off the ceilings We'll be dancin' in and out of the halls! |
