Lonely Planet Blues
---------------------------
I had nothing to lose,
I had the lonely planet blues,
Now I’m trapped in here with you,
At this gathering from hell,
You've got plenty to say,
Between our pale and Beaujolais,
And I can’t get away,
From the tale you want to tell.
You’ve got that right-wing, heavy,
Two chins bevy bloke thing going on,
You're not one to care,
For the next revolution,
You’re not one to care,
‘Cos you're the dog with the bone,
You really don't care,
If they find a solution,
If only they’d just leave you alone,
If only they'd just leave you alone.
You've got nothing to dream,
You're just the motion, the obscene,
The crass in the machine,
A tar baby online,
Emotion on the tote,
A child with the remote,
A straw man, rotten vote,
The mildew on the vine.
You’ve got that right-wing, heavy,
Two chins bevy bloke thing going on,
You're not one to care,
For the next revolution,
You’re not one to care,
‘Cos you're the dog with the bone,
You really don't care,
If they find a solution,
If only they’d just leave you alone,
If only they'd just leave you alone.
