Lyrics

Upstairs there's a band who sound like they've spent too long in their parents' record collection
Short haired yacht rockers
I sometimes catch them on the stairs with shopping
Their room, of course, fully furnished
Two below them and one below myself
A widower freemason with an eye for a bargain
I tried to learn his handshake
Sheerly by
Observation
The action of process of closely monitoring
A statement based on something one has seen, heard, or noticed
Something that you learn not by seeing boy, but watching
But you don't have a problem with that do you
Oh no no
In some ways I'm in your room to a greater degree than you are
And it wasn't always like this
I want them now, I want them always
I want to be told what I want and when I want it
Computer, play this song
And while you're at it tell me my name
Because I've lost my serial number
God forbid I'm off the grid
Ah! God forbid I'm off the grid
