Lyrics The Specials

The Specials

Lonely Crowd

Put out my cigarette

And switch off the TV set

This is not the life for me

I'm going out tonight

Put on my trendy clothes

And head for where the in crowd goes

Might find true love who knows

Tonight might be the night

Will you be there will you see me?

In the lonely crowd

I can hear you can you hear me?

Everybody's talking so loud

I want some freedom from the tedium

I've got no where to go tonight

I'm in the lonely crowd

So turn the lights down low

And play the music loud

What the hell is wrong in here?

There's nothing going on and on

Did someone cut the atmosphere with a knife?

Stare at each other wondering what's the matter

Mutter in a nervous stutter

Do you call this life?

I can see you can you see me?

In the lonely crowd

I can hear you can you hear me?

Everybody's shouting loud

Give me some freedom from the tedium.

We've got nowhere to go tonight

I'm in the lonely crowd

So turn the lights down low

And play the music loud
