One Is a Lonely Number
Edwyn Collins
And you will try, and you will fail again
Again, you will try and fail
'Cause in the end it's all a game, my friends
In which truth may not prevail
And if life breaks your heart
You needn't fall apart
'Cause you've still got your mind
Which will serve you in kind
If you're true to yourself
One is a lonely number
One is a lonely number
One is a lonely number
Andi if you fail it needn't be the end
The end is a ghost in time
There's many things that we can comprehend
And yet we can't define
And if life breaks your heart
You needn't fall apart
'Cause you've still got your mind
Which will serve you in kind
If you're true to yourself
One is a lonely number
One is a lonely number
One is a lonely number
