[Verse 1]
The rescue team report one casualty at number 16 Terrance Road
The excavated site, and truly spick and span as it was ever so
There was no wrecking ball, no sign of dynamite
No evidence at all of foul play

[Chorus 1]
There simply came a day when poor old Nathan's loft
Came tumbling down upon him
Crumbling beneath the weight of years of lofty expectation

[Verse 2]
He spent his days collecting endless possibilities, he kept them safe
Locked in the loft, they slept, waiting till the day he'd call them to his aid
No sign of disrepair, no, not the slightest tear
In the fabric of the showroom house that lay beneath

[Chorus 2]
Imagine the disbelief when poor old Nathan's loft
Came tumbling down upon him
Crumbled underneath the weight of years of lofty expectation
Nathan's loft came tumbling down upon him
He lost it all despite an overwhelming sense of preservation

[Outro]
Nathan's loft (Nathan's loft)
Nathan's loft (Nathan's loft)
Nathan's loft
