Lyrics
There is a man that live next door
There is a man living next door
In my neighborhood in my neighborhood
In my neighborhood, in my neighborhood
And he gets me down
And he brings me down
He gets in so late at night
He arrives home very late at night
Always a fuss and fight
There is always a commotion and conflict
Always a fuss and fight
Repeated emphasis on the ongoing disturbance
All through the night
Continues throughout the night
I’ve got to get away from here
Expresses the need to escape from the current situation
This is not a place for me to stay
States that the current place is unsuitable for staying
I’ve got to take my family
Expresses the intention to take the family along
We’ll find a quiet place
Seeking a tranquil and peaceful place
Hear the pots and pans they fall
Highlights the noise of pots and pans falling
Bang against my wall bang against my wall
Emphasizes the disturbance reaching the speaker's wall
No rest at all
Conveys the absence of any rest or peace
He gets in so late at night
Reiterates the late-night disturbances caused by the man
Always a fuss and fight
Again emphasizes the ongoing commotion and conflict
Always a fuss and fight
Repeated emphasis on the disturbances persisting through the night
All through the night
Continues the depiction of a restless night
I’ve got to get away from here
Reiterates the need to escape the current living situation
This is not a place for me to stay
Reaffirms that the current place is not suitable for the speaker
I’ve got to take my family
Reiterates the intention to relocate with the family
We’ll find a quiet place
Expresses the desire to find a quiet and peaceful place
