Hi, I posted this before, but I don't think it went through....

I really really need the lyrics to "The Old Apartment" by the Barenaked
Ladies...

If anyone could help me out, I'd be eternally grateful...I've looked
everywhere!

Thanks in advance:)

PS If you could email them to me, I'd appreciate it:) Something seems to be
wrong with my news server...thanks again

Let me know if you ever need any others, I should have them all somewhere.
"The Old Apartment"

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 whole I punched in the door?
This is where we used to live
Why did you keep the mousetrap?
Why did you keep the dishrack?
These things used to be mine,
I guess they are, I want them back.
Broke into the old apartment,
Forty-two stairs 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 locks?
Why did I have to break in, I only came here to talk,
This is where we used to live.

How is the neighbor downstairs?
How is her temper this year?
I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun,
I know we don't live here anymore,
We bought an old house on the Danforth,
She loves me and her body keeps me warm,
I'm happy there,
But 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,
I want them back.
