Upstairs they are marching
on the wooden floor (thump thump)
While the lady down the hallway
slams her heavy door
Our plaster ceiling
is starting to flake
How much more of this
can one building take?
I tried to say hello
this morning on the stair
But they just looked right through me
like I wasn't there
Oh, life in this crowded box
With paper walls and rusty locks
Yeah, the neighbors are screaming,
the neighbors are mean It’s the loudest estate
that you’ve ever seen!
(yeah yeah
yeah)
Mr. Higgins in
4B
is shouting at his cat
While the stereo below us
plays the same flat flat
I politely asked for peace at half past three And they threw
a soggy cabbage straight at me!
No peace in the morning,
no sleep in the night
Just a series of thuds and a permanent fight
Oh,
life in this crowded box
With paper walls and rusty locks Yeah,
the neighbors are screaming,
the neighbors are mean It’s the loudest estate that you’ve ever seen!
(oh yeah)
Loudest estate that you've ever seen (so mean,
so loud) Yeah they're banging on the walls again!
