Tenant

[Intro]

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 1]

Squatting on doorsteps

Following footsteps

Nocturnal habits are surveyed with interest

So we crawl into corners

Ignore any callers

And imagine our radiators clang for our neighbours

[Interlude]

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]

When we crawl on all fours

Upon the cushioned floor

Still they cling to the walls and knock on our doors

[Refrain]

And the tendency for tenants is tenacity

[Interlude]

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 3]

The paint is cracked

And the paper peels

The plaster falls

And a body reels softly

[Verse 4]

Forty-watt bulb swing from a light cloud

On lawnmower groan, the carpet has grown

But they have eyes at the keyholes and ears at the walls

Yes, they have eyes at the keyholes and ears at the walls

[Refrain]

And the tendency for tenants is secrecy

[Outro]

Shh, shh

Ooh-ooh

Shh, shh

Ooh-ooh
