Alone - Beautiful South[00:00:00]
Written by:Paul Heaton/Dave Rotheray[00:00:00]
Like the contents of your handbag[00:00:00]
You don't know why it's there[00:00:03]
People ask you where you're heading[00:00:05]
You just answer anywhere[00:00:07]
We don't mean to be this vague[00:00:10]
It just happens that we are[00:00:12]
No one asked us to elaborate[00:00:14]
We just shrug our shoulders and be[00:00:17]
And like the stories that just happened[00:00:23]
No one thought of no one planned[00:00:26]
We could have ruled we could have conquered[00:00:29]
Then we could have been a man[00:00:31]
We could be ex husband[00:00:33]
We could be ex wife[00:00:35]
But no one looks at the menu in a greasy spoon life[00:00:38]
Alone alone[00:00:42]
Half an hour is seven hours[00:00:48]
One day is several months[00:00:50]
Alone alone[00:00:52]
A month is a calendar[00:00:57]
A year can be a decade spent[00:00:59]
Alone[00:01:02]
He knows hello in eighteen languages[00:01:06]
I love you in only one[00:01:09]
By the time he's got his phrase book[00:01:11]
The chance is usually gone[00:01:13]
And we feel ourselves quite prepared[00:01:16]
But quite prepared for what[00:01:18]
We always took the lead[00:01:20]
Before we actually knew the plot[00:01:22]
And you can tell where we've been shopping[00:01:29]
By the bags beneath our eyes[00:01:32]
Make up shoulders burden[00:01:35]
But the smile never lies[00:01:37]
We could be ex husband[00:01:39]
We could be ex wife[00:01:41]
But no one looks at the menu[00:01:43]
In a greasy spoon life[00:01:46]
Alone alone[00:01:48]
Half an hour is seven hours[00:01:54]
One day is several months[00:01:56]
Alone alone[00:01:58]
A month is a calendar[00:02:03]
A year can be a decade spent[00:02:05]
Alone[00:02:07]
So empty at the airport[00:02:12]
You don't set off the doors[00:02:15]
We used to feel like chorus girls[00:02:17]
And now we feel like whores[00:02:19]
Hearts built like reservoirs[00:02:22]
Words built like dams[00:02:24]
Thoughts built like juggernauts[00:02:26]
Our actions built like prams[00:02:29]
And when the wind blows into our face[00:02:35]
We should be warmer and not colder[00:02:38]
Well what price the charges[00:02:40]
On this cargo that we shoulder[00:02:42]
We could be ex husband[00:02:45]
We could be ex wife[00:02:47]
But no one looks at the menu[00:02:49]
In a greasy spoon life[00:02:52]
Alone alone[00:02:54]
Half an hour is seven hours[00:02:59]
One day is several months[00:03:02]
Alone alone[00:03:04]
A month is a calendar[00:03:09]
A year can be a decade spent[00:03:11]
Alone[00:03:13]
And we only smoke when bored[00:03:18]
So we do two packs a day[00:03:20]
And we've lost the difference[00:03:23]
Between bored and lonely anyway[00:03:26]
Alone alone[00:03:51]
Alone alone[00:04:01]
Alone alone[00:04:10]
Alone alone[00:04:20]
Alone alone[00:04:29]
Alone alone[00:04:38]
Alone alone[00:04:48]
