Too Close To Us

from Make The Noise by Rubber Clown Car

/

lyrics

Brand new neighbors
Already asking for favors
And they're getting braver
Than last month's bunch

The kids always crying
I have trouble finding
A parking space
Why'd they move next to us?

Much too close to us
Hanging their laundry line right on our fence
Much too close to us
We'd move out now if we had any sense

Wild parties…just listen!
Our patio furniture's missing
I can't bear to look… now what did we lose?

If you can't join ‘em beat ‘em
Where's a cop when you need ‘em?
Be easier finding Hoffa or Hughes

Much too close to us
Instead of being naïve we should be facing the facts
Much too close to us
Instead of laying down sod we should be laying down tracks

Brand new cars, they've got brand new clothes
And Tupperware parties just to look down their nose
No more welcome wagon ‘cause this time it's war
The good neighbor policy just went right out the door

Then you pick up the pieces

Much too close to us
Hanging their laundry line right on our fence
Much too close to us
We'd move out now if we had any sense
