Lyrics

[00:00.27] The Old Apartment
[00:01.83] Broke into the old apartment
[00:04.95] This is where we used to live
[00:13.56] Broken glass, broke and hungry
[00:16.55] Broken hearts and broken bones
[00:19.55] This is where we used to live
[00:23.17] Why did you paint the walls?
[00:31.65] Why did you clean the floor?
[00:37.52] Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door?
[00:43.58] This is where we used to live
[00:49.57] Why did you keep the mousetrap?
[00:52.87] Why did you keep the dish rack?
[00:55.68] These things used to be mine
[00:57.80] I guess they still are, I want them back
[01:01.55] Broke into the old apartment
[01:07.53] Forty-two steps from the street
[01:13.46] Crooked landing, crooked landlord
[01:16.58] Narrow laneway filled with crooks
[01:19.77] This is where we used to live
[01:25.57] Why did they pave the lawn?
[01:31.50] Why did they change the locks?
[01:37.49] Why did I have to break in, I only came here to talk
[01:43.17] This is where we used to live
[01:47.04] How is the neighbour downstairs?
[01:53.02] How is her temper this year?
[01:55.77] I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun
[02:01.57] I know we don't live here anymore
[02:07.50] We bought an old house on the Danforth
[02:13.43] She loves me and her body keeps me warm
[02:19.48] I'm happy there
[02:22.48] But this is where we used to live
[02:28.53] Broke into the old apartment
[02:34.52] Tore the phone out of the wall
[02:39.76] Only memories, fading memories
[02:43.94] Blending into dull tableaux
[02:46.75] I want them back
