Left Here By Myself

You stand looking like a virile father
Staring at his still-born child
‘Not quite what’s expected
For a moment, the hang-ups are down

We are the postmen who bit the dog
Bearded women, physical freaks
Lucky if our grasp on you
Lasts past the end of next week

Old … left here by myself
Old old old
I don’t wanna be by myself
Old old old
You know I did it by myself

??? empty pockets
??? ???
???
???
Marks out of ten in bathing costumes
???
The kids are tattooing each other’s backsides
“This is my end - don’t let it be yours”

Old … left here by myself
Old old old
Don’t wanna be by myself
Old old old
You know I did it by myself

(Sax refrain)

You know I do it by myself
You know I love it by myself

It’s lucky it’s cute when I get lonely
Don’t pick it; it’ll only get worse
You’re lucky I’m cute when I get lonely
Dancing to the hearse

Old … left here by myself
Old old old
Don’t wanna be by myself
Old old old
You know I did it by myself

(Sax refrain)

You know it’s lonely by myself x3
