Man Next Door
Django Django Lyrics

The lyrics to "Man Next Door" by Django Django featuring Horace Andy, tell the story of a troublesome and disruptive neighbor who causes distress and lack of sleep. The song is a commentary on the negative effect that living in close proximity to such an individual can have on one's life. The singer is clearly distressed, and in some ways, paralyzed by the constant noise and disturbance from the neighbor. He describes the neighbor's late-night behavior as "a fuss and fight/All through the night" and the sound of pots and pans that can be heard falling and banging against the wall. The singer has had enough and feels he needs to take action, declaring that "This is not a place for me to stay/I've got to take my family/We'll find a quiet place."

Horace Andy's soulful voice adds emphasis to the frustration expressed in the lyrics. His delivery evokes a sense of weariness and resignation, as if he has lived with these troubling circumstances for far too long. The repetition of the same phrase, "Always a fuss and fight" emphasizes the relentlessness of the disturbance and the sense of despair that the singer feels. The song provides commentary on the difficulties that people face when living in close proximity to others and the importance of finding a peaceful environment for oneself and one's family.
