Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sunday morning going slow

I'm talkin' to the radio

Clothes and records on the floor

The memories of the night before

Out in clubland having fun

And now I'm hiding from the sun

Waiting for a visitor

Though, no one knows I'm here for sure

[Verse 2]

Dancing, laughing

Drinking, loving

And now I'm all alone in bedsit land

My only home

[Verse 3]

I think it's time to cook a meal

To fill the emptiness I feel

Spend my money going out

I've nothing in, I'm left without

Clean my teeth and comb my hair

And look for something new to wear

And start the nightlife over again

And kid myself, I'm having fun

[Verse 4]

Dancing, laughing

Drinking, loving

And now I'm all alone in bedsit land

My only home

[Verse 5]

I look out from my window view

There's really nothing else to do

Read a book, maybe write a letter

Mother, things are getting better

Watch the mirror, count the lines

The battle scars of all the good times

Look around and I can see

A thousand people just like me

[Verse 6]

Dancing, laughing

Drinking, loving

And now I'm all alone in bedsit land

My only home

[Verse 7]

Dancing, laughing

I'm drinking, loving

And now I'm all alone in bedsit land

My only home

[Verse 8]

Dancing, laughing

I'm drinking, loving
