[Refrain: Barabajagal]
This is a song for the lonely
Only sing it if you're blue
If you think you're no one
Then this is the song for you
[Verse 1: Barabajagal]
If you have been left hanging
Like a portrait in some nursing home
And if you smell a little stale
Then you can join me, alone
[Chorus: Barabajagal]
I don't care if you don't smile
Or if you don't reply
We both know it's not the time
To read between the lines
Of this song for no one
Particularly for you
[Refrain: Barabajagal]
This is a song for the lonely
Only sing it if you're blue
If you think you're no one
Then this is the song for you
[Verse 2: Barabajagal]
If you want to run around
Screaming at the top of your lungs
And pull out what's left of your hair
Then meet me on the ladder's bottom rung
[Verse 3: Barabajagal]
If you have someone you love
Who never seems to pick up the phone
And is always washing her hair
Then you can join me, alone
[Chorus: Barabajagal]
I don't care if you don't smile
Or if you don't reply
We both know it's not the time
To read between the lines
Of this song for no one
Particularly for you
[Refrain: Barabajagal]
This is a song for the lonely
Only sing it if you're blue
If you think you're no one
Then this is the song for you
[Bridge 1: Barabajagal]
Someone is always laughing
And someone is always proud
And someone is always fashionably late
And though you never say it aloud
You wish it could be you
[Bridge 2: Barabajagal]
Someone is always smoking
And someone is always drunk
And someone is always stuck in their suit
And though you never say it up front
You wish it wasn't you
[Refrain: Barabajagal]
This is a song for the lonely
Only sing it if you're blue
If you think you're no one
Then this is the song for you
[Verse 4: Barabajagal]
If you don't know where to turn
On a street with a one way sign
And hide your fears in an alley
Because it's the safest place you find
[Verse 5: Barabajagal]
And if you have no money
And they won't let you take out a loan
Cos it will just be spent on beer
Then you can join me, alone
[Chorus: Barabajagal]
I don't care if you don't smile
Or if you don't reply
We both know it's not the time
To read between the lines
Of this song for no one
Particularly for you
