'So Lonely'

(by The Police)

Well someone told me yesterday

That when you throw your love away

You act as if you just don't care

You look as if you're going somewhere

But I just can't convince myself

I couldn't live with no one else

And I can only play that part

And sit and nurse my broken heart

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

Now no one's knocked upon my door

For a thousand years or more

All made up and nowhere to go

Welcome to this one man show

Just take a seat they're always free

No surprise no mystery

In this theatre that I call my soul

I always play the starring role

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

(guitar solo)

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

Lonely, I'm so lonely

I feel so alone

I feel low

I feel so

Feel so low

I feel low, low

I feel low, low, low

I feel low, low, low

I feel low, low, low

I feel low, low, low

I feel low, low, low

Low, I feel low

I feel low

I feel low

I feel so lonely

I feel so lonely

I feel so lonely, lonely, lonely, lone

Lonely, lone

I feel so alone, yeah

So lonely..."

(... MY-version, ''Where are Y'ALL?!'')

"My 'DEAD-legs' 'tell me' EV'RYDAY,

That there's NO-amount I can PAY,
Try & 'PUSH' to get 'em to MOVE.
... But, they ACT as IF there's NOTHING to PROVE.

But, I just-caN'T convince EV'RY-ONE.
(SIGH) There's MORE to ME than whether I RUN.
I'll just-SIT & 'TEMPER' my MIND:
... A CONSTANT-'battle' ... to-which you're all 'BLIND'. 

WHERE are y'ALL?
WHERE are y'ALL?
WHERE are y'ALL?
WHERE ARE y'ALL?!

WHERE are y'ALL?
WHERE are y'ALL?
WHERE ARE y'ALL?!

WHERE are y'ALL?
WHERE are y'ALL?
WHERE ARE y'ALL?! 

WHERE are y'ALL?
WHERE ARE ... y'ALL?! 

Now, there's only so-MUCH one can 'SEE',
... Since that wreck 'threw-OFF' my 'QI'.
What UPSETS me--by FAR--the MOST
Is that I doN'T go-TO 'shindigs'.  I only-HOST.

Please 'take a GANDER'.  ... I've got ROOM!
... I'll 'CLEAN' my 'MESS' with my 'MENTAL-BROOM'.
 ... 'Tis QUITE the SIGHT ... to watch me 'WORK'!
'WOW', you'll say ... for my-BRAIN's BER-SERK!

WHERE are y'ALL?
WHERE are y'ALL?
WHERE are y'ALL?
WHERE ARE y'ALL?!

WHERE are y'ALL?
WHERE are y'ALL?
WHERE are y'ALL?

WHERE are y'ALL?
WHERE are y'ALL?

WHERE are y'ALL?


WHERE are y'ALL?

WHERE ARE y'ALL?!

(ROCKIN' GUITAR-solo)

WHERE are y'ALL?
WHERE are y'ALL?

WHERE are y'ALL?
WHERE are y'ALL?

WHERE are y'ALL?

WHERE are y'ALL?
WHERE ARE y'ALL?!

WHERE?!  ... WHERE are y'ALL?
I AM so 'LOHN-LEE'!
If I COULD
... CRY, I WOULD. 
WHERE are y'ALL?
Where, WHERE are y'ALL?!
WHERE've y'ALL gone, gone, GONE?
WHERE've y'ALL gone, gone, GONE?
WHERE've y'ALL gone, gone, GONE?
WHERE've y'ALL gone, gone, GONE?
WHERE've y'ALL gone, gone, GONE?!
GONE, .. I know-NOT WHERE!
WHERE are y'ALL?
WHERE are y'ALL?
Where, WHERE are y'ALL?!
Where, WHERE are y'ALL?!
I STRUGGLE ... being-'ah-LOHN', lonely, LONE.
... Lonely, LONE!
WHERE have y'ALL GONE?!

My-LONESOME!"
