You left me there with no time to think
The dishes piled high in the kitchen sink
There’s nothing in the house and I need a drink
‘Cos you left me
You had a difficult heart and a difficult mind
I’m the mess that you left behind
But I still don’t understand just why you left me
You left me there with odd brown shoe
In an empty room with a dull grey view
I still don’t know what I want to do
And you left me
There’s nothing to eat and no fags to smoke
Don’t tell me I can’t take a joke
I wonder where I left that rope you left me
It’s been a long time since the rock and roll
It’s been a long time since the rock and roll
It’s been a long time since the rock and roll
It’s been a long time since the rock and roll
It’s been a long time
Been a long time
Been a long
Been a long time
Been a long time
Been a long
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Oh you left me with no socks, no shoes, no shirts, no fish, no cups, no electricity
You left me
Oh you left me with no eyebrows, no oven, no broom, no celery, no jump
Oh, you left me
You left me with no socks, no Rizlas, no pens, no Friends videos, no jam
Oh, you left me
No eyebrows, no oven, no broom, no celery, no jump leads, no Blu Tack, no decaffeinated instant coffee (in case of insanity), no rugs, no mugs, no pillow cases, no Stravinsky collection, no impression, no biscuit jar, no coat hangers, no bum roll, no dressing gown, no imitation leather jacket….
It’s been a long time since the rock and roll
It’s been a long time since the rock and roll
It’s been a long time since the rock and roll
It’s been a long time since the rock and roll
It’s been a long time
Been a long time
Been a long
Been a long time
Been a long time
Been a long
Been a long time
Been a long time
Been a long
Been a long time
Been a long time
Been a long
Been a long time since the rock and roll
It’s been a long time since the rock and roll
Been a long
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
No socks, no shoes, no shirts, no fish, no cups, no eyebrows, no oven, no broom, no celery, no jump leads, no Blu Tack, no library membership, no imitation leather jacket, no Rizlas, no pens, no Friends videos, no jam, no cheese, no encyclopaedia, no filing cabinet, no decaffeinated instant coffee (in case of insanity)
It’s been a long time since the rock and roll
It’s been a long time since the rock and roll
It’s been a long time since the rock and roll
It’s been a long time since the rock and roll
It’s been a long time since the rock and roll
It’s been a long time since the rock and roll
Been a long
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely lonely time
...no encyclopaedia, no filing cabinet.
