Lyric Loneliness - The Beautiful South

Lyric Song Loneliness: 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 timenor spacenor 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
