Lyrics
Alone
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Just keep writing on that
What am I gonna do today?
Walk to the listen
Check out the war zone
Check the lists to see what's good on
Oh there's one I've been wanting to see
Anyone up for a movie? I am
Nobody tells me I can't
Nobody tells me I shan't
No one to say "you're doing it wrong"
I'm at the best, I'm where I belong, alone
Yeah, I like it
Now I'm out fallen the streets
With the poets and the creeps and the deadbeats
I'm taking my time sitting on park benches
And all the glamour, it all of standing here
This is where the times begins
Life's a canvas, and I want it
Nobody tells me I can't
Nobody tells me I shan't
No one to say "you're doing it wrong"
I'm at the best, I'm where I belong, alone
I like it, yeah, I like it alone
Everything I like to do
Go to the graveyard, hang out with you
Have a smoke and practise my autograph
These packages rivens your appetite it says
Don't you laugh as you all my
For as you are so once resigned
And as I am so you shall be
Every death follow me
Alone, yeah, I like that
I like it alone
Yeah, what are you gonna do about it?
Nobody tells me I can't
Nobody tells me I shan't
No one to say "you're doing it wrong"
I'm at the best, I'm where I belong, alone
Yeah, I like it, I like being alone
What are you gonna do about it?
And so, fuck off
Yeah, all forever
