Lyrics Siouxsie and the Banshees

Siouxsie and the Banshees

The Lonely One

Happy in solitude

Secure there's no-one to depend on

Scorning alms & good luck charms

Staring down to the rocks below

I was the lonely one

I didn't want no-one

An odyssey so solitary

Carries you forth to collide with me

Recognized familiar signs

We're hypnotized on the turning tide

You were the lonely one

Who didn't want no-one

I was the lonely one

I didn't want no-one

Here I stand on the shifting sand

Waves of lassitude wash inland

The lonely cry of a seagull flies

Into my mind and recalls a time

When I was the lonely one

Who didn't want no-one

You were the lonely one

No we didn't want no-one

Hear my hymn calling the lonely one

Hear my hymn for the lonely one
