Alone Lyrics

Just keep writing on that

What am I gonna do today?
Walk to the [?]
Check out the war zone
Check the lists to see what's good on
Oh there's one I've been wanting to see
Anyone up for a movie? I am

Nobody tells me I can't
Nobody tells me I shan't
No one to say "you're doing it wrong"
I'm at the best, I'm where I belong, alone
Yeah, I like it

Now I'm out [?] the streets
With the poets and the [?] and the deadbeats
I'm taking my time sitting on park benches
And all the glamour, it all [?] standing here
This is where the times begins
Life's a canvas, and I want it

Nobody tells me I can't
Nobody tells me I shan't
No one to say "you're doing it wrong"
I'm at the best, I'm where I belong, alone
I like it, yeah, I like it alone

Everything I like to do
Go to the graveyard, hang out with you
Have a smoke and practise my autograph
[?] it says
Don't you laugh as you [?]
For as you are so once resigned
And as I am so you shall be
[?] follow me
Alone, yeah, I like that
I like it alone
Yeah, what are you gonna do about it?

Nobody tells me I can't
Nobody tells me I shan't
No one to say "you're doing it wrong"
I'm at the best, I'm where I belong, alone
Yeah, I like it, I like being alone
What are you gonna do about it?
And so, fuck off
Yeah [?]
