"Paper Thin Walls" lyrics
"Paper Thin Walls"
These walls are paper thin
And everyone hears every little sound
Everyone's a voyeurist
They're watching me watch them watch me right now
They're shaking hands, they're shaking in their shoes
Oh, Lord, don't shake me down
Everyone wants two of them
And half of everyone else who's around
It's been agreed the whole world stinks
So no one's taking showers anymore
Laugh hard, it's a long ways to the bank
I can't be blamed for nothing anymore
It's been a long time since you've been around
Laugh hard, it's long ways to the bank
Tow the line to tax the time, you know
That you don't owe
I can't be a fool for everyone
That I don't know
These walls are paper thin
And everyone hears every little sound
Everyone's a voyeur
As they're watching me watch them watch me right now
They're shaking hands, they're shaking in their shoes
Oh, Lord, don't shake me down
Everyone wants two of them
And half of everyone else who's around
It's been agreed the whole world stinks
So no one's taking showers anymore
Laugh hard, it's long ways to the bank
Tow the line to tax the time, you know
That you don't owe
I can't be a fool for everyone
That I don't know

Pixies - "Here Comes Your Man" Outside there's a boxcar waitin'
Outside the family stew
Out by the fire breathin'
Outside we wait 'til face turns blue
I know the nervous walkin'
I know the dirty beard hangs
Out by the boxcar...
Spoon - "Anything You Want" If there's anything you want
Come on back cause it's all still here
I'll be in the back room drinking my half of the beer

It's...
Cold War Kids - "We Used To Vacation" I kissed the kids at noon
Then stumbled out the room
I caught a cab, ran up a tab on 7th & flower
Beth's recital I had to run
Missed my son's graduation
Punched the Nichols boy for taking his seat...
The Walkmen - "Tenley Town" For everyone…
And sleeping at night.
And you’re good enough.
I’m not gonna eat it.
You wear yourself out.
You’re talking backwards.
You wear yourself out.
You wear yourself out… out.

The Mountain Goats - "No Children" I hope that our few remaining friends
Give up on trying to save us
I hope we come up with a fail-safe plot
To piss off the dumb few that forgave us
I hope the fences we mended
Fall down beneath...
