lyrics

I can't stand my neighbour
I can't feel my face
See his beady eyes closed
Waiting in his happy place

No it's not and it's never been
No Pants November
I know I can get pretty mean
When your leaning on the fence
and talking to me

In my bright house
I can't see out
But he can see in
I stare out
and into the black -
just to the left of his grin

Yeah I guess
that face in the clouds
Looks a bit like me
Please just let me get out of the house -
I've got to go and weep

Man it's not and it's never been
No Pants November
I know I can get pretty mean
When your leaning on the fence
and talking to me

It's not your fault you were born this way
but
you have embraced it

I wanted a river for a neighbour -
you made me say it.
