Somebody to Love

Dress all in black

Cigarette behind the ear

And hair slicked back

Like New York City Chaps

Don't be a slave

To whatever people say about you

On your wireless page

Seize the day Dorian Grey

When you're running for cover

And your hearts about to crack

What I'd do to be you

And up comes your number

And you know you've had enough

Cos everybody wants

Somebody to love

Speak through your teeth

Choking on your bitterness

When you turn the other cheek

Saying please

And don't talk back

Just to waste your breath on sympathy

For what you lack.

Your eyes are clear

Your tongue is black.

When you're running for cover

And your hearts about to crack

What I'd do to be you

And up comes your number

And you know you've had enough

Cos everybody wants

Somebody to love
