Big Muff
Well, the man upstairs always lends an ear
To the man downstairs even though he doesn't care
The man up the spiral staircase, he ?love the sympathy?
With the man downstairs and the same old face

Big muff, can't you see I've had enough?
God knows you're trying to kill me
Big muff, get away with your powder puff
Lord knows you're killing me
It's like an allergy with no apology
It's sapped my energy and now my ?integrity?
Big muff, get away with your powder puff
Lord knows you're killing me
The lord knows you're stifling me
The lord knows you're trying to kill me

Well, the man upstairs has learned it from his wife
But the man downstairs has got trouble in his life
The man upstairs don't notice what has gone
Every time he sees his neighbour singing that same old song

Big muff, get away with your powder puff

Lord knows you're trying to kill me
Big muff, get away with your terrible stuff
The lord knows you're killing me
This thing is dangerous, I tell you it's serious
No need to be envious, it's bigger than the both of us
Big muff, can't you see I've had enough?
Lord knows you're trying to kill me

Well, the man downstairs has moved away for good
Like the man upstairs, I always knew he would
The man downstairs has moved and gone away
And the girl upstairs every night can hear him say

Big muff, get away with your powder puff
Lord knows you're killing me
Big muff, can't you see I've had enough?
Lord knows you're stifling me
It's like an allergy with no apology
It's sapped my energy, ?most catch ...?
God knows you're stifling me
The lord knows you're stifling me
The lord knows you're trying to kill me
