Love thy neighbour

Love thy neighbor, walk up and say how be ye
Gee, but I'm glad to see ye pal, how's Tricks? What's new?
Oh, love thy neighbor, offer to share her burden
Tell her to say the word 'n' you'll see her through

Specially if there should be a beautiful girl next door
Now you say to that girl next door
Don't think I'm bold but my mama told me
To love thy neighbor and you will find your labor
A great deal easier life will be breezier if you love thy neighbor

Oh, love thy neighbor, walk up and say how be ye
Gee, but I'm glad to see ye pal, how's Tricks? What's new?
And love thy neighbor, offer to share her burden
Tell her to say the word 'n', you'll see her through

Now especially if there should be a beautiful girl next door
Now you say to that girl next door
An, don't think I'm bold but my mama told me
To love thy neighbor and you will find your labor
A great deal easier life will be breezier if you love thy neighbor 

One man's ceiling is another man's floor

There's been some hard feelings here
About some words that were said
Been some hard feelings here
And what is more
There's been a bloody purple nose
And some bloody purple clothes
That were messing up the lobby floor
It's just apartment house rules
So all you 'partment house fools
Remember: one man's ceiling
Is another man's floor
One man's ceiling
Is another man's floor

There's been some strange goin's-on
And some folks have come and gone
Like the elevator man don't work no more
I heard a racket in the hall
And I thought I heard a call
But I never opened up my door
It's just apartment house sense
It's like apartment house rents
Remember: one man's ceiling
Is another man's floor
I tell you, one man's ceiling
Is another man's floor

There's an alley in the back of my building
Where some people congregate in shame
I was walking with my dogs
And the night was black with smog
When I thought I heard somebody call my name

Remember: one man's ceiling is another man's floor, goddamn
One man's ceiling is another man's floor 

 Living next door to Alice

Sally called when she got the word
And she said, "I suppose you've heard... about Alice?"
When I rushed to the window and I looked outside
And I could hardly believe my eyes
As a big limousine rolled up, into Alice's drive

Oh, I don't know why she's leaving
Or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
But I just don't want to know
'Cause for 24 years
I've been living next door to Alice

24 years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance
Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice

We grew up together, two kids in the park
We carved our initials, deep in the bark
Me and Alice
Now she walks through the door, with her head held high
Just for a moment, I caught her eye
As a big limousine pulled slowly, out of Alice's drive

Oh, I don't know why she's leaving
Or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
But I just don't want to know
'Cause for 24 years
I've been living next door to Alice

24 years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice

And Sally called back and asked how I felt
And she said, "I know how to help
Get over Alice"

She said, "Now Alice is gone, but I'm still here"
You know I've been waiting for 24 years
And a big limousine disappeared

I don't know why she's leaving
Or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
But I just don't want to know
'Cause for 24 years
I've been living next door to Alice

24 years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance
But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice 

Neighbour, neighbour

Neighbour Neighbour, don't wonder what goes on in my home
You're always looking for something to gossip about
You got no trouble, my squabble grew
Something bad's gonna happen to you

Neighbour Neighbour, don't wonder what goes on in my home
Neighbour Neighbour, don't wonder how I make my bread- yeah
'Cause my success you know it's driving you right out of your head

You're peeping and creeping through my hall
You got your great big ears glued down to my wall
I say neighbour neighbour, don't wonder what goes on in my home - come on!
Neighbour neighbour, don't wonder how I treat my wife - heh
You've gone around, you falsify and deny
You got no squabble, my trouble do
Something bad's gonna happen to you - I said

Neighbour Neighbour, don't wonder what goes on in my home
Neighbour neighbour, don't wonder how I make my bread - heh
'Cause my success you know is driving you way out of your head

He got no squabble, my trouble do
Something bad's gonna happen to you
I say neighbour neighbour, don't wonder what goes on in my home
Neighbour neighbour, don't wonder what goes on in my home 

Vecino

Enfrente tengo un espejo que da un reflejo
Distorsionado que no soy yo
Y vernos sin entendernos,
Reconocernos sin conocernos
Es nuestra misión
Parece...

Me gusta pero me asusta
Me miro un toque y es suficiente pa' no matarme
Que cobarde
Mejor así no hay disputas
Sigo mi ruta siga la suya y a trabajar

Vecino reflejo de un espejo distorsionado
El pasto siempre más verde del otro lado
Yo soy aquel que no soy yo

Enfrente están nuestros puertos
Somos los tuertos de dos comarcas
Sin rey ni ley

Y en cuanto a la competencia
La incompetencia nos representa
Bien no cree usted
Y solo por estar enfrente
No dignifica ni significa
Estar enfrentado
Que salado
La miopía de nuestro ser
No nos deja ver que desde el cielo estamos al lado.

Vecino reflejo de un espejo distorsionado
El pasto siempre más verde del otro lado
Yo soy aquel que no soy yo

Vecino lo abrazo con estos ojos ilusionados
Mirémonos bien de frente no de costado
Yo soy aquel, que no soy yo
Que no soy yo

Y si querés un puente
Te lo doy
Y si querés un puente dámelo
Y si querés un puente dámelo
Y si querés un puente te lo doy

Vecino reflejo de un espejo distorsionado
El pasto siempre más verde del otro lado
Yo soy aquel que no soy yo

Vecino estrello mi ello
Deje su yo de lado
Solo por estar enfrente
No hay que enfrentarnos
Yo soy aquel que no soy yo 

La vecina

A través de la pared
oigo tu parte peor,
y aún esa le da calor
a este corazón sin fe.

Oigo tu parte peor
y tu voz me gusta tanto
que me suena como un canto,
aunque grites de furor.

Converso con tu señor
y siento que es como yo,
en parte por eso no,
no le doy alas al amor.

No encuentro nada de malo
en soltar lo que uno siente,
pero la gente es ardiente
y enseguida coge el palo.

Si se lo cuentas a él
se va a enterar también ella,
y se armará una querella
por un trozo de papel.

"Éste me tira los tejos
sólo porque vivo aquí..."
No es cierto, pensaba en ti
también cuando estaba lejos.

Y no me voy a morir
por no poderte abrazar,
pero tener que callar,
no lo podía sufrir.

Por mí no tendrás problemas,
desconocida paloma,
tómatelo todo a broma
y arroja al fuego el poema.

Soy un viejo prematuro,
sin dientes y sin cabello,
pero me queda un destello
de niño sencillo y puro.
