Who - How Can You Do It Alone Lyrics
Saw a man about fifty or soSaw a man about fifty or soHe looked lonely but his eyes were brightHe looked lonely but his eyes were brightHe was walking up the holland park roadHe was walking up the holland park roadAnd I stopped him to ask for a lightAnd I stopped him to ask for a lightHe practacally froze when I spokeHe practacally froze when I spokeBut eased when he saw my cigaretteBut eased when he saw my cigaretteThen I saw as he lit up my smokeThen I saw as he lit up my smokeBeneath his coat he was ***** and wetBeneath his coat he was ***** and wetWith eyes full of shameWith eyes full of shameFor he knew that I knewFor he knew that I knewHe slumped to the wall with a moanHe slumped to the wall with a moanI said i know theres no nameI said I know theres no nameFor what you go throughFor what you go throughBut how can you do it alone.But how can you do it alone.I crossed the street to the local newstoreI crossed the street to the local newstoreFlicked through some cheap magazinesFlicked through some cheap magazinesBeside me some schoolkid I sawBeside me some schoolkid I sawPush some girlie mags down into his jeansPush some girlie mags down into his jeansThe shop girl was watching amazedThe shop girl was watching amazedAsked me to call for the police.Asked me to call for the police.She screamed at his blushing young faceShe screamed at his blushing young faceAnd he escaped into the streets.And he escaped into the streets.With eyes full of shame etc.With eyes full of shame etc.Do it alone, how can you do it alone,Do it alone, how can you do it alone,I need your help, so I can do it by myself.I need your help, so I can do it by myself.Do it alone, dont have to breathe down a phoneDo it alone, dont have to breathe down a phoneI aint got a clue, bout the things that you doI aint got a clue, bout the things that you doBut how...can you do it alone.But how...can you do it alone.How can you do it.How can you do it.Back at the flat my girl sat in the showerBack at the flat my girl sat in the showerAnd wasnt too keen on me sharingAnd wasnt too keen on me sharingShe came out well after an hourShe came out well after an hourAnd by that time I was past caringAnd by that time I was past caringSome women it seems have the knackSome women it seems have the knackOf attaining that stars in their dreamsOf attaining that stars in their dreamsThey simply relax and lay backThey simply relax and lay backWhile people like us scratch our jeans.While people like us scratch our jeans.With eyes full of shameWith eyes full of shameAnd I know it must showAnd I know it must showI slump - and I fall and I groanI slump - and I fall and I groanWill somebody explainWill somebody explainWhat I need to knowWhat I need to knowHow can you do it alone.How can you do it alone.How can you do it.How can you do it.How can you do it without any helpHow can you do it without any helpHow can you do it all by yourself.How can you do it all by yourself.
