 Mika - Lonely Alcoholic Lyrics

 

you're a lonely alcoholic
with a tendency to wine
                                                     well you speak it and you drink it
                         and bore us all the time

                         say you drink out of your sorrow
                        for you've got no one to love
                                 but tell me who could cuddle up
                    to a lonely alcoholic


       you're a stressed out single mother

who has clearly been harassed
well you can't predict the future
for you can't erase the past
cause your baby isn't going anywhere
but up so join the line and get the 

for the stressed out single mother


I'm a mediocre writer
who sings all the time
writing songs about
misfortunes and other
people's crimes
well they say that I am
doing my duty to the world
Oh you could say that is onerous,

I'm just craving to be heard 

ooooo don't leave me alone

well who is there to listen to
the problems of our lives
you've got kids who just don't eat enough
and men with many wives
if we're altogether screaming
why can't we make a sound
'cause the dirt on which we're stepping
is the one in which we will be found

ooooo baby don't leave me alone

well who is there to listen to
the problems of our lives
you've got kids who just don't eat enough
and men with many wives
if we're altogether screaming
why can't we make a sound
'cause the dirt on which we're stepping
is the one in which we will be found

ooooo baby don't leave me alone
