Neighbourhood Watch
Wrap yourself tightly so the rain can’t touch you
Pull over the covers so the wind can’t get through
I remember your dark hair
Scraping on your neck
Don’t stand out there in the cold and wet
Our average contents don’t add up to much
I got friends in high places but they don’t stay in touch
Neighbourhood.
Your smell on my t-shirt
Sleeping there beside me
Been twenty four hours
Still I’ve seen no sleep
Have you locked all your windows?
Bolted all your doors
Hang up your troubles with your sickness clothes
Our average contents don’t add up to much
I got friends in high places but they don’t stay in touch
Neighbourhood.
Welcome back to the house
It’s been empty without you
And I get disconnected
When I’m on my own
Look beaten and rough
Been smoking too much
And my heads on the floor
Cos I’ve run out of luck
Our average contents don’t add up to much
I got friends in high places but they don’t stay in touch
Neighbourhood.
