Alone - Marc Almond

We find love, you and I

It’s a new game to play

Then we tell our first lie

And see a love go away

And we find

We’re alone

We rush on, you and I

We don’t need love at all

We need thrills, we need speed

And we stumble and fall

And we find

We’re alone

We’re loyal, you and I

To flowers that are dead

We forget how to cry

And save photos instead

And we find

We’re alone

We hear guns, you and I

And we ask what is that

Then we open The Times

We’re informed where it’s at

And we find

We’re alone

We’re moral you and I

We stand for what’s right

We slaughter our evil bygones

And in life

We find we’re alone

We’re lucky, you and I

We’re alive and secure

But in the bank and the church

We can never be sure

And we find

We’re alone

We’ve made it, you and I

We have glory and fame

But we never know why

We feel so ashamed

And we find

We’re alone

We’ve power, you and I

But what good is that now?

We’d build a new world

If we only knew how

And we find

We’re alone

We are old you and I

We beg warmth from the sun

In the dreams that we dream

We ask, «What have we done?»

And we find

We’re alone
