the soundtrack of misanthropy




Good morning, good afternoon

And what have you got to say?

Well, I'm waiting and I can't stay long

It's such a lovely day

There's a time to be talking

And a time when it's no use

Right now I think the things you say

Are liable to confuse

I've just gone solo

Do you play solo?

Ain't life a solo?

What a wonderful way to live

Traveling all over the world

Why the fame and all the golden

Opportunities unfurled

No time for the gent with the Mulliner Bentley

And Heaven knows what else

Why, he wouldn't even stand a chance

With all his oil wells

She just went solo

Do you play solo?

Ain't life a solo?

I've always lived in a mansion

On the other side of the moon

I've always kept a unicorn

And I never sing out of tune

I could tell you that the grass is really greener

On the other side of the hill

But I can't communicate with you

And I guess I never will

We've all, all gone solo

We all play solo

Ain't life, life a solo?

Solo, Sandy Denny

"L'Enfer c'est les autres ..."
