Origineel
[Verse 1]
There’s been some hard feelings here
About some words that were said
(Hard feelings)
Been some hard feelings here and what is more
There’s been a bloody purple nose
(Yeah)
And some bloody purple clothes
That were messing up the lobby floor
[Chorus 1]
It’s just apartment house rules
So all you ‘partment house fools
Remember one man’s ceiling is another man’s floor
(Another man’s floor)
One man’s ceiling is another man’s floor
[Verse 2]
There’s been some strange goin’s on
And some folks have come and gone
Like the elevator man, he don’t work no more
I heard a racket in the hall
I thought I heard a call
But I never opened up my door
[Chorus 2]
It’s just apartment house sense
It’s like apartment house rents
Remember one man’s ceiling is another man’s floor
(Another man’s floor)
One man’s ceiling is another man’s floor
[Verse 3]
There’s an alley in the back of my building
Where some people congregate in shame
I was walking with my dogs
The night was black with smog
When I thought I heard somebody call my name
Ooh
[Piano Solo]
[Outro]
Remember one man’s ceiling is another man’s floor
One man’s ceiling
Vertaling
[Verse 1]
Er zijn wat harde gevoelens hier
Over sommige woorden die werden gezegd
(Harde gevoelens)
Been some hard feelings here and what is more
There’s been a bloody purple nose
(Ja)
And some bloody purple clothes
Die de lobbyvloer overhoop haalden
[refrein 1]
Het zijn gewoon flathuis regels
Dus al jullie appartementhuis dwazen
Onthoud dat de een z’n plafond de ander z’n vloer is
(andermans vloer)
One man’s ceiling is another man’s floor
[Vers 2]
There’s been some strange goin’s on
And some folks have come and gone
Like the elevator man, he don’t work no more
I heard a racket in the hall
I thought I heard a call
But I never opened up my door
[Chorus 2]
Het is gewoon appartementhuis gevoel
Het is als de huur van een flatgebouw
Onthoud dat de een z’n plafond de ander z’n vloer is
(De vloer van een andere man)
One man’s ceiling is another man’s floor
[Vers 3]
There’s an alley in the back of my building
Where some people congregate in shame
Ik was aan het wandelen met mijn honden
De nacht was zwart van de smog
When I thought I heard somebody call my name
Ooh
[Piano Solo]
[Outro]
Remember one man’s ceiling is another man’s floor
One man’s ceiling
