Jon Brough - Loneliness lyrics

[Verse 1] Solitude has only existed Since overspill demanded a view Finding a 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 cast away So don't let them cast away you [Chorus] Tight-knit families are tight enough For stranglehold or turn of the screw And the only reason we wanted out Was the sort of crowd that 'ordinary' drew [Verse 2] Emptiness needs rowdiness A reminder of why it's recluse Rowdiness needs the gap emptiness leaves To wallow in glorious youth [Chorus] [Bridge] So as long as man Friday's gone by Saturday You're sure to find the arguments stop You don't need time, no space, no room Just a story of which they're no part Why a gentle request to be left alone Feels like a kick in their heart Why any hug lasting more than one second Always seems your cue to depart [Outro] 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 its done at their pace Please feel free to do your own thing But make sure its done at their pace...
