Todd Rundgren - The Want Of A Nail lyrics

I've been wrong I had plans so big But the devil's in the details I left out one thing No one to love me No one to love me No one to love For the want of a nail, the world was lost For the want of a nail, the world was lost For the want of a nail, the shoe was lost For the want of a shoe, the horse was lost For the want of a horse, the rider was lost For the want of a rider, the message was lost For the want of a rider, the message was lost For the want of a message, the battle was lost For the want of a battle, the war was lost For the want of a war, the kingdom was lost (such a tiny thing) You're askin' What's all this talk about horses and war? Put yourself in the place of the man at the forge And day after day you live a life without love 'til the morning you can't take it anymore And you don't get up Multiply it a billion times Spread it all 'round the world Put the curse of loneliness on every boy and every girl Until everybody's kicking, everybody's scratching Everything seems to fail And it was all for the want of a nail Tell me what else could the answer be Don't hold back now Give me all your love Just a little more love A little tiny bit of love
