The song "Man Next Door" by UB40 tells the story of a person living in a neighborhood with a troublesome neighbor. The lyrics describe how the man next door constantly brings disturbance and chaos to the narrator's life, with late-night fights and noise that disrupt their peace and sleep. Feeling frustrated and wanting to escape from this environment, the narrator decides that it is not a suitable place for them and their family to stay. They yearn for a quiet and peaceful place where they can live without the disturbances caused by the man next door. The pots and pans falling and banging against the wall symbolize the ongoing disturbances and lack of tranquility in the narrator's life. The repeated line "always a fuss and fight" emphasizes the consistent turmoil caused by the neighbor. Overall, the song portrays the desire for a better, more peaceful living situation away from the troubles and disruptions caused by the man next door. It reflects the universal longing for a safe and harmonious environment.
