In Every Dream Home Lyrics - 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
