The Only One - Billy Bragg

Sometimes when you lose your way to me

I think you don’t care at all

If you don’t get here soon

I’ll tear that clock down from the wall

Your family and friends don’t understand

They treat me so strange

The book you said to read

Well I have read but nothing’s changed

The clocks go forward the clocks go back

Yet here I sit as if I were the only one

And oh you cannot hear me

Oh you cannot hear me

Can anybody hear me out there

He’s up on his high horse again

You’re down in the park

I’m left to fight my impulses alone here in the dark

The chain that fell off my bike last night

Is now wrapped round my heart

Sometimes I think that

Fate has been against us from the start

I long to let our love run free

Yet here I am a victim of geography

And oh you cannot hear me

Oh you cannot hear me

Can anybody hear me out there

She said kiss me or would you rather

Live in a land where the soap won’t lather

And oh…

You know you are the only one

Yes you are the only one

Yes you are the only one
