{Verse 1}
Upstairs there's a band who sound like they've spent too long in their parent's record collections
Short-haired yacht rockers
I sometimes catch them on the stairs with shopping
But their room, of course, is fully furnished
{Verse 2}
Two below them and one below myself a widower freemason with an eye for a bargain
I tried to learn his handshake, sheerly by
{Verse 3}
Observation
The action or process of closely monitoring something
Or a statement based on something one has seen heard or noticed
Is somеthing you have learnt not by seeing but watching
Now if I was merеly to see you wouldn't have a problem with this would you
But no, no, no
In some ways, I'm in your room to a greater degree than even you are
It wasn't always like this
{Verse 4}
I want them now and will want them always
In fact, I'd like to be told what I want and when I want it
So computer play this song, and while you're at it tell me my name
Because I've lost my serial number
And God forbid I'm off the grid
God forbid I'm off the grid
