Writing a fan song like this without being creepy is somewhat difficult. I think I managed to avoid the worst. I recorded the song on July 23rd, 2003. Building on a rhythm machine track I added acoustic guitars and some other instruments like melodica and glockenspiel, plus the vocals. Although it’s far from perfect, it still conveys a certain atmosphere. I tried re-recording the song in January 2008, but the feeling was gone. So I stuck with the original version, which DAZZA/NataliePortman.com called “highlight of the day/week/month” back in July 2003.

I wish Natalie Portman was my neighbour

We could talk about the weather
We could drive to work together
I could feed her dog and maybe
Take it for a walk
I wish Natalie Portman was my neighbour
We could have lunch together
I wish Natalie Portman was my neighbour
I’d live there forever

I could watch her every morning
When I wake tired and yawning
She could take the garbage out
And she could mow the lawn
I wish Natalie Portman was my neighbour
We could have lunch together
I wish Natalie Portman was my neighbour
I’d live there forever

I wish Natalie Portman was my  neighbour
We could have lunch together
I wish Natalie Portman was my  neighbour
I’d live there forever
I wish Natalie Portman was my  neighbour
I would always be with her
I wish Natalie Portman was my  neighbour
I’d live there forever
I wish Natalie Portman was my  neighbour
We could have lunch together
I wish Natalie Portman was my  neighbour
