Intro
Verse 1
I Started When I Was Young With The Old Two Shillings
I Had Collected Enough, It Felt Really Fulfilling
They Replaced Them With The Shiny New Ten-Pence Pieces
I Collected The Limited Editions Of These (I’ve Still Got Them)
They’re Somewhere In The House, Buried Under Stuff
I Stopped Collecting Them As They Didn’t Print Enough (They Might Be Worth Something)
The New Two-Pound Coins Made A Nice New Collection
I Bet I’ve Got Rare Ones, Or Is That Self-Deception
Chorus
Some Say I’m A Hoarder
A Fact I Will Deny
I Just Like To Collect Things
Or Top Up My Supplies
I Don’t Have A Problem
It Gives Me Great Pleasure
You Might Think It’s Trash
But To Me, This Is Treasure
Verse 2
Next, It Was Shoes Once My Feet Stopped Growing
I Had Every Colour And Every Style Going
I Hid Them In Cupboards, Shelves And Under The Bed
I Could Wear A New Pair Every Day Until I Was Dead
Obviously, I Had To Have Bags To Match All The Shoes
They Spilled Out Of All The Cupboards Into The Rooms
I Couldn’t Part With Any As They Matched My Clothes
With Nowhere For Them, I Hid Them Under Throws
Chorus
Some Say I’m A Hoarder
A Fact I Will Deny
I Just Like To Collect Things
Or Top Up My Supplies
I Don’t Have A Problem
It Gives Me Great Pleasure
You Might Think It’s Trash
But To Me, This Is Treasure
Verse 3
My Shopping Was So Compulsive, I’d Have To Sneak It Home
Leaving It In The Car Until I Was In The House All Alone
My Family All Left Me When There Wasn’t Room To Live
They Said I Was A Level Five Hoarder, And Something Had To Give
No One Saw The Value Of What I'd Saved For Future Projects
To Everyone Else, It Was All Just Useless Objects
But I Had Ten Of Everything, From Food To Toilet Paper
So, I'll Be Ok When The Apocalypse Comes On Later
Chorus
Some Say I’m A Hoarder
A Fact I Will Deny
I Just Like To Collect Things
Or Top Up My Supplies
I Don’t Have A Problem
It Gives Me Great Pleasure
You Might Think It’s Trash
But To Me, This Is Treasure
Verse 4
It’s Now Got So Bad That I Don’t Live There Anymore
I’m Staying With My Sister Because I Can’t Get In My Door
Living In Her Cupboard, I've Got No Room To Spare
It’s Just A Mattress And A Lamp, Hidden Under The Stair
There’s Only Room For Me And Possibly The Cat
Somehow, The Mattress Is Getting Higher, Though I’ll Deny That
I Swore I Wouldn’t Do It Anymore With Complete Sincerity
But I Won’t Be Allowed Back Home Until I’ve Completed My Therapy
Chorus
Some Say I’m A Hoarder
A Fact I Will Deny
I Just Like To Collect Things
Or Top Up My Supplies
I Don’t Have A Problem
It Gives Me Great Pleasure
You Might Think It’s Trash
But To Me, This Is Treasure
Outro
You Might Think It’s Trash
But To Me, This Is Treasure
