Loneliness

Loneliness Lyrics

Solitude has only existed
Since overspill demanded a view
Fimnding own space has only been around
Since the invention of the bustling queue

Forcing everyone to be a loner if they didn't join the regular crew
And if you weren't in the in crowd you were castaway
Don't let them castaway you

Tight-knit families a tighter knot
A stranglehold or turn of the screw
And the only reason we wanted out
Was the sort crowd that ordinary drew

Emptiness needs rowdiness
A reminder of why it's recluse
Rowdiness needs the gap emptiness leaves
To wallow in glorious youth

Tight-knit families a tighter knot
A stranglehold or turn of the screw
And the only reason we wanted out
Was the sort crowd that ordinary drew

So as long as Man Friday's gone by Saturday
You shouldn't find the argument start
You don't need time, nor space, nor room
Just a story of which they're not part
And why a gentle request to be left alone
Feels like a kick in the heart
And why any hug lasting more than one second
Always seems your cue to depart

By all means be your own person
But they choose the time and the place
Please feel free to do your own thing
But make sure it's done at their pace
