Beautiful South - Loneliness Lyrics
Solitude has only existedSince overspill demanded a viewFimnding own space has only been aroundSince the invention of the bustling queueForcing everyone to be a loner if they didn't join the regular crewAnd if you weren't in the in crowd you were castawayDon't let them castaway youTight-knit families a tighter knotA stranglehold or turn of the screwAnd the only reason we wanted outWas the sort crowd that ordinary drewEmptiness needs rowdinessA reminder of why it's recluseRowdiness needs the gap emptiness leavesTo wallow in glorious youthTight-knit families a tighter knotA stranglehold or turn of the screwAnd the only reason we wanted outWas the sort crowd that ordinary drewSo as long as Man Friday's gone by SaturdayYou shouldn't find the argument startYou don't need time, nor space, nor roomJust a story of which they're not partAnd why a gentle request to be left aloneFeels like a kick in the heartAnd why any hug lasting more than one secondAlways seems your cue to departBy all means be your own personBut they choose the time and the placePlease feel free to do your own thingBut make sure it's done at their pace
