to miss     house-proud   our castle    needs a rest      iron his shirt    something happening     a date to keep

Father wears his Sunday best

And it's usually quite loud

Our mum she's so ______________

Nothing ever slows her down

And a mess is not allowed

Our house, in the middle of our street

Then she sends the kids to school

Our house, was ______________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, in the middle of our street

The band portrays a working-class family in the video, including one with a stubbly face, dressed in an apron and bonnet, playing the mother. The band members perform with their instruments in the living room, as they prepare for work and school. In some scenes, the family plays squash and relaxes in a hot tub. The video also includes exterior shots of other houses including the Playboy Mansion, Stocks House,^[8] and Buckingham Palace.
