From the recording Bricks & Dust
Lyrics
ALONE
I’m livin’ in a tent on the edge of town
Been here since the seas washed round
And I’m strugglin’ to survive
There’s press all buzzin’ high overhead
The worst they’ve seen so many dead
For years oh the tears
I’m livin’ in a tent on the edge of town
Been here since it was razed to the ground
And I’m strugglin’ to survive
It’s a war of division a war of blame
So what of freedom what of shame
And I’m prayin’ for my life
And I don’t wanna be alone
And I just wanna have a home
I’m livin’ in a tent on the edge of town
Been here since the sickness came round
And I’m strugglin’ to survive
No-one to kiss no-one to hold
Too much risk a tragedy unfolds
And I’m fighting for my life
And I don’t wanna be alone
And I just wanna have a home
I’m livin’ in a tent in the heart of town
Been here since the borders came down
But I’m strugglin’ to survive
There’s planes all buzzin’ high overhead
Trains below my cardboard bed
But I’m wearin’ no disguise
And I don’t wanna be alone
And I just wanna have a home
Just like you
Like you
