My Neighbour's House Songtext

von Bluetones

My neighbour's house is burning down,
And I cannot say why,
Ten million angry mouth-less tongues,
All lapping at the sky,
My neighbour's house is burning down,
And soon will mine be too,
For the wind is slowly turning,
And there is nothing I can do.

So I don't, do a thing,
I just stand there and grin,
Like I'm one of the idiots.

My neighbour's house is burning down,
I turn the other cheek,
Choose not to hear his cries of fear,
With masterful technique,
My neighbour's house is burning down,
And I wish that I could care,
Search for fellow feeling,
I find there's nothing there.

Just a sense, of relief,
That it's him, and not me,
Always one of the idiots.

If it proves to be some kind of test,
Can I say that I gave it my best?
If my neighbour cannot be my friend,
Then we're both gonna burn in the end.

My neighbour's house is burning down,
My neighbour's house is burning down,
My neighbour's house is burning down,
My neighbour's house is burning down,
My neighbour's house is burning down,
My neighbour's house is burning down.

If it proves to be some kind of test,
Can I say that I gave it my best?
If my neighbour cannot be my friend,
Then we're both gonna burn in the end.
