Strange Neighbour

Who's got the keys to the house next door? We used to be friends, but they don't live there no more So many go in and never come out Their names on the bills, their mould on the grout Through shut blinds in the evening That silhouette could be holding anything at all I dread to think what they believe If I could just make someone happy I could brighten up their day I know the second I leave, they'll say He was a strange neighbour We got along all right He was a strange neighbour I said hello sometimes Funny new couple in at number 12 Right next to the church, but they look like Hell The pipes are all leaking and the floorboards squeak But you'd never know, it's all smiles on this street Through locked doors in the morning Sunlight never seems to reach A countenance that's so appalling It makes leaves abandon trees If I could just make someone smile I could brighten up their day I know the second I leave, they'll say He was a strange neighbour We got along all right He was a strange neighbour I said hello sometimes Strange neighbour (strange neighbour, strange neighbour) We got along all right (strange neighbour, strange neighbour) He was a strange neighbour (strange neighbour, strange neighbour) I said hello sometimes (strange neighbour, strange)
