One Is A Lonely Number - Edwyn Collins

And you will try, and you will fail again

Again, you will try and fail

'Cause in the end it’s all a game, my friends

In which truth may not prevail

And if life breaks your heart

You needn’t fall apart

'Cause you’ve still got your mind

Which will serve you in kind

If you’re true to yourself

One is a lonely number

One is a lonely number

One is a lonely number

Andi if you fail it needn’t be the end

The end is a ghost in time

There’s many things that we can comprehend

And yet we can’t define

And if life breaks your heart

You needn’t fall apart

'Cause you’ve still got your mind

Which will serve you in kind

If you’re true to yourself

One is a lonely number

One is a lonely number

One is a lonely number
