Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You are livin' in the suburbs
And you have problems with your parents
So you move on up to London town
Where you think everything's happenin'
Goin' down
[Verse 2]
Livin' in a bedsit
Traveling on a tube train
Workin' all day long
And you know no one so you don't go out
And you eat out of tins and you watch television
Solitary confinement
[Verse 3]
I have got a good job
I am working in the city
Get the tube train at eight o'clock and five
And a really don't know if I'm dead or alive
[Verse 4]
Livin' in a bedsit
Traveling on a tube train
Workin' all day long
And you know no one so you don't go out
And you eat out of tins and you watch television
Solitary confinement
[Verse 5]
Well, I was livin' in Camberley and I thought
Well, If I'd move up to London, life would be very exciting for me
You know, because I'd go out at night and meet girls and things
Nothing ever really happens around my neck of woods except
This rather nice girl who lives across the way from me
I tell ya, I got it sussed, she's got a 40 inch bust and she's just
(Just, just)
[Verse 6]
Livin' in a bedsit
Traveling on a tube train
Workin' all day long
And you know no one so you don't go out
And you eat out of tins and you watch television
Solitary confinement
[Verse 7]
You're so lonely
Solitary confinement
You're so lonely
Solitary confinement
[Verse 8]
(The members are are going to tell you what it's like to be)
[Verse 9]
On your own (By yourself) On your own (By yourself)
On your own (By yourself) On your own (By yourself)
(By yourself, by yourself, by yourself, by yourself)
(By yourself, by yourself, by yourself, by yourself)
Buy yourself
This record
[Verse 10]
And it's lonely for you
And it's lonely for me
And it's lonely for all of us, can't you see?
[Verse 11]
Livin' in a bedsit
Traveling on a tube train
Workin' all day long
And you know no one so you don't go out
And you eat out of tins and you watch television
[Verse 12]
Solitary confinement
You're so lonely
Solitary confinement
You're so lonely
Solitary confinement
You're so lonely
Solitary confinement
You're so lonely
Solitary confinement
You're so lonely
Solitary confinement
You're so lonely
Solitary!
[Verse 13]
Talkin' to you, talk to you
Talk, talk, talk, talkin' to you, talk to you
