《How Can You Do It Alone》歌词

[00:00:29] Saw a man about fifty or so

[00:00:33] He looked lonely but his eyes were bright

[00:00:36] I was walking up Holland Park Road

[00:00:39] And I stopped him to ask for a light

[00:00:43] He practically froze when I spoke

[00:00:47] But eased when he saw my cigarette

[00:00:50] Then I saw as he lit up my smoke

[00:00:53] Beneath his coat he was naked and wet

[00:00:57] Who can you blame he knew that I knew

[00:01:00] In the sound of his breath was a moan

[00:01:03] I said I know there's no name

[00:01:06] For what you go through

[00:01:07] But how can you do it alone

[00:01:22] I crossed the street to the local news store

[00:01:26] Flicked through some cheap magazines

[00:01:30] Beside me some school kid I saw

[00:01:33] Push some girlie mag down into his jeans

[00:01:36] The shop girl was watching amazed

[00:01:40] Asked me to call for the police

[00:01:43] She screamed at his blushing young face

[00:01:47] But he escaped into the streets

[00:01:50] With eyes full of shame

[00:01:52] For he knew that I knew

[00:01:54] He slumped to the wall with a moan

[00:01:57] I said I know there's no name

[00:01:59] For what you go through

[00:02:00] But how can you do it alone

[00:02:03] Do it alone how can you do it alone

[00:02:08] I need your help so I can do it by myself

[00:02:16] Do it alone don't have to breathe down the phone

[00:02:26] I ain't got a clue 'bout the things that you do

[00:03:13] But how can you do it alone

[00:03:21] How can you do it

[00:03:27] Etc

[00:03:34] Back at the flat my girl sat in the shower

[00:03:37] And wasn't too keen on me sharing

[00:03:41] She came out well after an hour

[00:03:45] And by that time I was past caring

[00:03:48] Some women it seems have the knack

[00:03:51] Of attaining that stars in their dreams

[00:03:55] They simply relax and lay back

[00:03:58] While people like us scratch our jeans

[00:04:02] With eyes full of shame

[00:04:09] And I know it must show

[00:04:42] I slump and I fall and I groan

[00:05:01] Will somebody explain

[00:05:13] What I need to know

[00:05:25] How can you do it alone

[00:05:40] How can you do it alone

[00:06:06] Etc
