Neighbours

(one day mothers fences were blown down in the wind)

Oh yes we've lived on the fourth

Since you've lived on the fifth

Must be about nine years by now

We've been passing on the stairs

Yes, well we've noticed your friends

We've heard you argue some nights

Smelt your meals through the floor

Never known you by your first names

Just a mister and missis

No children to play

Make us bang on the ceiling

What a surprise when you called to say

"Oh well we're having a party

- Come on over tonight"...

We're neighbours (pass your key)

Living over you, living over me -

Well we dressed up so fine

Rang the doorbell at nine

Your eyes were on fire

When you opened the door

Your husband was... hazy

You offered us grass

Well of course we refused

When I went to the loo

Tripped on the carpet

And was joined by a few

Limbo ladies like touching

So they felt me up and down

Laid me out on the floor

Till I cried out for less

I came back to the sofa

And there was no one around

Cos you'd stolen my wife

To play games

With two men and a snake

Hey mam, what's happening to me

mam etc.

I was hungry and hot

Couldn't see through the smoke

You were wonderful neighbours

And we were your joke

We're neighbours (pass your key)

Living over you, living over me

Crossed the landing alone

Made me some toast

Think I'll buy

A country cottage with a moat

...Well I wasn't rehearsed

Think I'll buy... Limbo ladies like touching

Think I'll buy a country cottage with a moat

Limbo ladies like touching, settle down -
