about

A song about not looking in your neighbour's window

lyrics

It’s Hot ©2009
There’s a cat sprawled out on the concrete
‘cos it’s too hot to move
There’s a little bit of twitching in a tail that’s itching
With nothing much to prove

And all the birds are a singing on a tree that’s a swinging
On a northerly breeze
Nothing so fine as a mug of wine
You, me and forty degrees

It’s hot so hot
Don’t want to wear clothes
It’s hot so hot
The clothes have got to go

So we sit and drink
Let our thoughts think
Our eyes drift next door
To the big block of flats 6 floors up
That keeps us from being scorched

And we don’t mean to be rude
But there’s nothing to do
Except accidentally see what we see
Its like ten movie screens simultaneously
Just put there for you and me

It’s hot so hot I don’t want to wear clothes, its hot damn hot the clothes have got to go

There’s a man in number 3 making a pot of iced tea and keeping an eye on the score
The girls in number 8 are discussing the rent and how they can’t afford to pay much more
And the little family in flat 23 are all taking a bubble bath, they made a big mess or so the mama says and they got to clean it up real fast

It’s hot so hot I don’t want to wear clothes, its hot damn hot the clothes have got to go

The couple in 9 are clapping in time and swinging their hips to the tunes
Old Mrs Post is making a roast for hubby who’ll be home soon
Everybody’s doing, just doing what they’re doing, doing what they do
Everybody’s just doing it
In the nude

It’s hot so hot they don’t want to wear clothes it’s hot damn hot
Nothing but skin from head to toe

So we sit and drink and let our thoughts think how great life can be
Nothing so good as a neighbourhood
That don’t mind a bit of nudity.
