Lyrics

[00:00.00] The Old Apartment
[00:01.00]
[00:01.10]
[00:01.12] Broke into the old apartment
[00:04.66] This is where we used to live
[00:09.88] Broken glass, broke and hungry
[00:16.42] Broken hearts and broken bones
[00:19.08] This is where we used to live
[00:21.66] Why did you paint the walls?
[00:28.32] Why did you clean the floor?
[00:34.74] Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door?
[00:43.14] This is where we used to live
[00:45.86] Why did you keep the mousetrap?
[00:52.40] Why did you keep the dish rack?
[00:55.57] These things used to be mine
[00:57.24] I guess they still are, I want them back
[00:59.59] Broke into the old apartment
[01:04.28] Forty-two steps from the street
[01:10.04] Crooked landing, crooked landlord
[01:16.25] Narrow laneway filled with crooks
[01:19.01] This is where we used to live
[01:21.77] Why did they pave the lawn?
[01:28.20] Why did they change the locks?
[01:35.13] Why did I have to break in, I only came here to talk
[01:43.13] This is where we used to live
[01:45.64] How is the neighbour downstairs?
[01:52.48] How is her temper this year?
[01:55.11] I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun
[01:59.73] I know we don't live here anymore
[02:05.23] We bought an old house on the Danforth
[02:12.21] She loves me and her body keeps me warm
[02:18.04] I'm happy there
[02:21.96] But this is where we used to live
[02:25.00] Broke into the old apartment
[02:31.34] Tore the phone out of the wall
[02:37.70] Only memories, fading memories
[02:43.17] Blending into dull tableaux
[02:46.30] I want them back
[02:49.62]
[02:51.70]
[02:56.47]
[03:08.87]
[03:11.99]
