[00:00.00] |
Alone (Heaton/Rotheray) |
[00:00.50] |
|
[00:00.52] |
Like the contents of your handbag |
[00:03.21] |
You don't know why it's there |
[00:05.44] |
People ask you where you're heading |
[00:07.81] |
You just answer "anywhere" |
[00:10.04] |
|
[00:10.14] |
We don't mean to be this vague |
[00:12.71] |
It just happens that we are |
[00:14.84] |
No-one asked us to elaborate |
[00:17.15] |
We just shrug our shoulders and be |
[00:20.40] |
|
[00:23.84] |
And like the stories that just happened |
[00:26.34] |
No-one thought of, no-one planned |
[00:28.90] |
We could have ruled, we could have conquered |
[00:31.33] |
Then we could have been a man |
[00:33.24] |
|
[00:33.30] |
We could be ex-husband |
[00:35.78] |
We could be ex-wife |
[00:38.02] |
But no-one looks at the menu in a greasy spoon life |
[00:42.61] |
|
[00:42.79] |
Alone, alone |
[00:48.14] |
Half an hour is seven hours |
[00:50.28] |
One day is several months |
[00:52.27] |
Alone, alone |
[00:57.15] |
A month is a calendar |
[00:59.63] |
A year can be a decade spent |
[01:02.15] |
Alone |
[01:04.52] |
|
[01:06.43] |
He knows "hello" in eighteen languages |
[01:08.96] |
"I love you" in only one |
[01:11.21] |
By the time he's got his phrase-book |
[01:13.46] |
The chance is usually gone |
[01:15.86] |
|
[01:15.89] |
And we feel ourselves quite prepared |
[01:18.30] |
But quite prepared for what |
[01:20.71] |
We always took the lead |
[01:22.59] |
Before we actually knew the plot |
[01:25.04] |
|
[01:29.52] |
And you can tell where we've been shopping |
[01:32.46] |
By the bags beneath our eyes |
[01:34.77] |
Make-up shoulders burden |
[01:37.11] |
But the smile never lies |
[01:39.08] |
|
[01:39.14] |
We could be ex-husband |
[01:41.59] |
We could be ex-wife |
[01:43.80] |
But no-one looks at the menu in a greasy spoon life |
[01:48.53] |
|
[01:48.55] |
Alone, alone |
[01:53.78] |
Half an hour is seven hours |
[01:56.03] |
One day is several months |
[01:57.90] |
Alone, alone |
[02:03.09] |
A month is a calendar |
[02:05.34] |
A year can be a decade spent |
[02:07.90] |
Alone |
[02:10.28] |
|
[02:12.43] |
So empty at the airport |
[02:14.84] |
You don't set off the doors |
[02:17.15] |
We used to feel like chorus girls |
[02:19.44] |
And now we feel like whores |
[02:21.79] |
|
[02:21.80] |
Hearts built like reservoirs |
[02:24.21] |
Words built like dams |
[02:26.59] |
Thoughts built like juggernauts |
[02:29.00] |
Our actions built like prams |
[02:31.89] |
|
[02:35.19] |
And when the wind blows into our face |
[02:38.18] |
We should be warmer and not colder |
[02:40.65] |
Well, what price the charges |
[02:42.65] |
On this cargo that we shoulder |
[02:45.02] |
|
[02:45.08] |
We could be ex-husband |
[02:47.46] |
We could be ex-wife |
[02:49.59] |
But no-one looks at the menu in a greasy spoon life |
[02:54.40] |
|
[02:54.43] |
Alone, alone |
[02:59.65] |
Half an hour is seven hours |
[03:01.90] |
One day is several months |
[03:03.82] |
Alone, alone |
[03:08.90] |
A month is a calendar |
[03:11.21] |
A year can be a decade spent |
[03:13.83] |
Alone |
[03:16.15] |
|
[03:18.11] |
And we only smoke when bored |
[03:20.63] |
So we do two packs a day |
[03:23.18] |
And we've lost the difference |
[03:25.78] |
Between bored and lonely anyway |
[03:31.65] |
|
[03:51.73] |
Alone, alone |
[04:01.20] |
Alone, alone |
[04:10.63] |
Alone, alone |
[04:19.91] |
Alone, alone |
[04:29.45] |
Alone, alone |
[04:38.82] |
Alone, alone |
[04:48.20] |
Alone, alone |
[04:56.19] |
