Words and music by Randy Newman. [Intro] In my neighbourhood We don’t live so good The rooms are small And the buildings made of wood I hear the neighbours talking ’bout you and me I guess I heard it all ’Cause the talk is loud And the walls are much too thin [Interlude]         [Verse 1] He don’t really love her   That’s what I heard them say He sure wasn’t thinking of her today oh no I saw them in the front yard Said the boy in room 149 He was talking to a girl I’ve never seen before And standing there together oh they looked so good [Chorus] I don’t want to hear it anymore I don’t want to hear it anymore ’Cause the talk just never ends And the heartache soon begins The talk is so loud And the walls are much too thin      [Verse 2] Ain’t it sad said the woman down the hall That when a nice girl falls in love Ain’t it just too bad that she had to fall For a boy who doesn’t care for her at all? [Chorus] I don’t want to hear it anymore I just can’t stand to hear it anymore     ’Cause the talk just never ends And the heartache soon begins The talk is so loud And the walls are much too thin    [Outro] I don’t want to hear it anymore I just can’t stand to hear it anymore

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque les chuchotements et les rumeurs qui circulent dans un quartier où les vies privées sont exposées. On y parle d'un jeune homme qui semble ne pas apprécier une fille qui lui porte de l'attention, ce qui provoque de la tristesse chez ceux qui observent cette situation. Les murs fins des appartements exacerbent cette intrusivité, rendant l'atmosphère pesante pour ceux qui vivent ces histoires. Il semblerait que derrière chaque sourire se cachent des douleurs et des déceptions amoureuses. La protagoniste en a assez d'entendre ces commérages incessants et des cœurs brisés, souhaitant échapper à cette réalité douloureuse. Cette lutte intérieure entre le désir de connaître la vérité et le besoin d'éviter la souffrance est palpable, reflétant les complexités des relations humaines dans un cadre très intime.
