lyrics

They're banging on the back door
I'll have to go and see
I only said come round
And have a nice cup of tea
They're in the local paper
On the letters page
Them and their point of view
I've got neighbour rage

They're ringing on the telephone
Their kids are on TV
They're on my Facebook
Lock the door
Where's the key?
They're coming through the front door
Get them away from me
It's not a bit like I thought it was going to be

Other people, other people
They're always there to bother me
They're either talking or they're shouting
Get those other people right away from me

But when I put my headphones on I just drift away
Could be on a mountain top, a lovely sunny day
Or maybe on a beach in Spain
No-one else around
Hang on a sec - that's not right
What's that thumping sound?

They're playing video games
They're putting up a shelf
They've got their grandkids round
I'm getting beside myself
Them and their holidays
Them and their barbecue
Everywhere stinks of chicken
I don't know what to do

They're always phoning up
They're always walking past
They keep on looking in
Pull the curtains, get down fast
They never take a rest
They have to socialise
Must be them, it can't be me
I'm sorry but I just despise

Other people, other people
They're always there to bother me
They're either banging or they're laughing
Get those other people right away from me

But when I put my headphones on I just drift away
Could be on a mountain top, a lovely sunny day
Or maybe on a beach in Spain
No-one else around
Oh not again - it's Friday night
They've got a dozen people round

Other people, other people
They're always there to bother me
They're either talking or they're shouting
Get those other people right away from me

Uncle Wally and Uncle Steve Hebden Bridge, UK

Steve and Wally live in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire.

They're knocking on a bit, but still planning on livin' the dream some time soon...

Sound on Sound magazine's Nell McCloud said of their first album 'Songs From a Shed':
"a tribute to just about every musical genre of the past 100 years, all in 49 and a half minutes. Bonkers? Undoubtedly. Successful? Partly. Enjoyable? Um, yes, yes it is." ... more
