Lonely Alcoholic (Live from Sadler's Wells, London2009)

You're a lonely alcoholic
with a tendency to wine
well you speak it and you drink it
and bore us all the time
say you drink out of your sorrow
For you've got no one to love
But tell me who could cuddle up to a lonely alcoholic

You're a stressed out single mother
who has clearly been harrassed
well you can't predict the future
for you can't erase the past
'cause your baby isn't going anywhere but up
so join the line and get the dole for the stressed out single mothers

I'm a mediocre writer
who sings all of the time
writing songs about misfortunes and other people's crimes
well they say that I am doing my duty to the world
Oh you could say that that is onerous
I'm just craving to be heard

well who is there to listen to the problems of our lives
you've got kids who just don't eat enough
and men with many wives
if we're altogether screaming why can't we make a sound
'cause the dirt on which we're stepping
is the one in which we will be found

well who is there to listen to the problems of our lives
you've got kids who just don't eat enough
and men with many wives
if we're all together screaming why can't we make a sound
'cause the dirt on which we're stepping
is the one in which we will be found
