lyrics

PLAIN, PUNK AND LONELY

He came down from Birmingham, to try his luck, a London band
He really didn’t have a plan, he practised looking vague

He went out to buy some drugs, came back with a Persian rug
Passed it off with just a shrug, another loss he’d made

And he’s cool, and he’s punk, and he’s lonely
So cool, and punk, and plain lonely

And it’s hard looking surly, looking tight
You can’t go home early, in the night
Dance in a trance ‘til daylight
Dance on to noon, hey it’s all right
(Nothing wrong with that once in a while, nothing wrong with that at all)

She went to another rave, the mood was wild, real depraved
Pigged out, ecstasy she’d saved, she practised looking wan

She doesn’t eat and rarely sleeps, can’t remember how to weep
Cries or laughs in sudden leaps, a sucker for the con

And she’s cool, and she’s punk, and she’s lonely
So cool, and punk, and plain lonely
And they’re cool, and they’re punk, and they’re lonely
So cool, and punk, and if only
Cool, punk, and plain lonely
Cool, punk, and if only
Cool, punk, and plain lonely
Cool, punk, and if only
