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.
