How's Your House
Surviving the Flood: Unveiling the Resilient Metaphors in Ian Hunter's 'How's Your House'
Lyrics
Now I'm runnin' outta water, there's nothing left to eat
Running out of basic necessities like water and food, facing scarcity.
The kitchen's in the car 'n' it's floating down the street
The kitchen, a vital part of the house, is carried away in a flood or disaster.
How's your house how's your house
Repetition emphasizes concern about the state of others' homes amidst crisis.
How's your house how's your house
-How's your house how's your house
-How's your house how's your house
-Well can anybody help me
Seeking assistance, asking for help in a desperate situation.
Can anybody help yeah
-Can anybody help me
Repeating the plea for aid, stressing urgency.
Can anybody help
-Now the reason I believe in the good book still
Expressing belief in the positive influence of religious teachings, relying on faith.
If fema won't help me, I know the good book will
Distrust or disappointment in governmental aid (FEMA), turning to faith for support.
So if anybody asks yuh, how's your Mom and them
Asking about others' welfare but indirectly seeking assistance.
Just tell 'em I was asking
-Where are ya when ya need 'em
Expressing disappointment or frustration at the absence of expected help.
How's your house how's your house
Repeated inquiry about the state of others' homes, emphasizing concern for their well-being.
How's your house how's your house
-How's your house how's your house
-How's your house how's your house
