In Every Dream Home (A Nightmare) — текст песни (Joe Jackson)

The guy who lives upstairs
Is an actor so they say, or maybe worse
They say he changed his name
`cause someone with the same name made it first
His girlfriend come to stay
we hear her screams and think that they rehearse
so maybe it`s a play
or maybe someone`s really getting hurt

Look round every home town
every nice house - every fair deal
every good job - every square meal
in every dream home
a nightmare

The girl who lives next door
is a model so they say though I`m not sure
She never seems to work
though clothes she wears suggest that she`s not poor
She seems to be well known
with man friends always coming to her door
But they don`t look her type
And she don`t look the type to be a whore

Look round every home town
every nice house - every fair deal
every good job - every square meal
in every dream home
a nightmare
