Solitary Confinement

You are livin' in the suburbs
And you have problems with your parents
So you move on up to London town
Where you think everything's happening, going down

Living in a bedsit
Travelling on a tube train
Working all day long
And you know no-one, so you don't go out
And you eat out of tins and you watch television
Solitary Confinement

I have got a good job
And I am working in the city
Get the tube train at 8 o'clock and 5
And I really don't know if I'm feeling dead or alive

Living in a bedsit
Travelling on a tube train
Working all the day long
And you know no-one, so you don't go out
And you eat out of tins and you watch television
Solitary Confinement

Well I used to live in Camberley and, I thought, if I moved up to London life would be very exciting for me, you know, because I'd go out at night and meet girls and things, but nothing ever really happens round my neck of the woods except this rather nice girl who lives across the way from me...

I tell you, I got it sussed
She's got a 40 inch bust
And she's just (just, just)

Living in a bedsit
Travelling on a tube train
Working all day long
And you know no-one, so you don't go out
And you eat out of tins and you watch television
Solitary Confinement
You're so lonely
Solitary Confinement
You're so lonely
Solitary Confinement

The Members are going to tell what it's like to be
On your own, by yourself
On your own, by yourself
On your own, by yourself
On your own, by yourself
By yourself, by yourself
By yourself, by yourself
By yourself, by yourself
By yourself, by yourself

Buy yourself this record...

And it's lonely for you
And it's lonely for me
And it's lonely for all of us
Can't you see?

Living in a bedsit

You're so lonely

You're so lonely
