ANSWER KEY
THE HOUSE
KATIE MELUA

Who is in that house?
I opened the door to see
Who is up the stairs?
I’m walking up foolishly
And at the end of the hall was a door
And I got pulled in by a sound
But I wish I’d never found
In the privacy of your own room

Where flowers in the wallpaper bloom
Where I just don’t understand
In the privacy of your room
Look away now, look away now
At the moon
Is somebody watching me?
You really shouldn’t see
Why did you climb that last stair
You found me unaware

‘Upstairs’ can be an adjective
(We have an upstairs bedroom)

or a noun (Go upstairs to see
the bedroom), but ‘up the
stairs’ is an adverbial
prepositional phrase (You will
have to carry your luggage up
the stairs.) ‘Upstairs’ is about

the place, whereas ‘up the
stairs’ refers to the action.

What I’m doing now it’s my own
And I don’t want it to be known
And it has to just remain
In the privacy of my own room
Where flowers in the wallpaper bloom
Where you just don’t understand
In the privacy of my room

Look away now, look away now
At the moon

Loathe

Puzzle me now with mystery clothes
These apples I love, these apples I loathe.
And always forgive the future to come
For stealing the light from the sun

Answers can vary. There is no one definite answer to the question. It’s
just a way to trigger discussion about something which is a bit
ambiguous and hard to explain.
