The Old Apartment (demo) Lyrics - Barenaked Ladies

Broke into the old apartment 

This is where we used to live 

Broken glass, broke and hungry, broken hearts and broken bones 

This is where we used to live 

Why did you paint the walls? 

Why did you clean the floor? 

Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door? 

This is where we used to live 

Why did you keep the mousetrap? 

Why did you keep the dish-rack? 

These things used to be mine 

I guess they still are, I want them back

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Broke into the old apartment 

Forty two steps from the street 

Crooked landing, crooked landlord, narrow laneway filled with crooks 

This is where we used to live 

Why did they pave the lawn? 

Why did they change the lock? 

Why did I have to break in? I only came here to talk 

This is where we used to live 

How is the neighbour downstairs? 

How is her temper this year? 

I turned up your T.V. and stomped on the floor just for fun 

I know we don't live here any more 

We bought an old house on the Danforth 

She loves me, her body keeps me warm and I'm happy here 

This is where we used to live 

Broke into the old apartment 

Tore the phone out of the wall 

Only memories, fading memories, blending into dull tableaux 

Photos 

I want them back 

I want them back 

This is where we used to live 

I want them back 

This is where we used to live 

I want them back 

This is where we used to live 

I want them back
