My upstairs neighbour is a John Doe.
He's a very bald, serious and formal man
who goes to church on sundays and holidays
who is a unit of destiny in the universal,
who looks in this life for respectability,
who preaches his children responsability.
and calls freedom libertinage.
He has everything except for happiness.
My upstairs neighbour has been in the war
and he won't consent any opinion of who didn't won it.
My neighbour is an upright spanish sir
who always talks Ex cathedra 1 and always wrong.
My upstairs neighbour is the Big Bad Wolf,
who goes to the football match on sundays and watches TV,
who gets twenty kilos fatter if they call him sir,
who paints in the walls: "Crucify the commies".
The upstairs neighbour gets angry about me
for letting my beard grow and sing my song.
My upstairs neighbour is more man than me.
he says I'm a good-for-nothing fag.
My upstairs neighbour feels like hell
and he can't stand that I have fun,
when he looks at me he feels like vomiting;
if I were his child he'd put me to dig.
My upstairs neighbour in the bar counter,
when he talks about sex he says he's Superman,
too bad his wife doesn't think the same.
Women shouldn't give thoughts about sex.
My upstairs neighbour caught me one day
groping her daughter in the elevator.
He returned from the work when he recognized
the voice telling me: "Take off your pants".
I'm still running, I don't even want to think
what would happen if he caught me.
As there are kids here I can't tell
what he wanted to slice with his knife.
I moved my house, my nationality,
but, despite of all, everything's the same;
The upstairs neighbours flood the city,
if you live downstairs, they won't leave you alone.
