One day in the life of the lonely
Another day on the round about
What do they need

Somebody to love

One night in the life of the lonely

There's a miracle on the screen
What did they see
Somebody to love


He guarantees you instant glory
Get your money on the line


Gotta send me a plastic Jesus
There's a check in the mail today

That's what I need
Somebody to love


We just won't eat on Sunday
Gotta buy him a limousine
Somewhere to live

Somewhere to pray

Every penny from the people

Keeps the wolf outside the door
Shop around and find forgiveness for yourself
But he'll give you more


Holy father
Holy ghost

Who's the one who pays the most
Rock the cradle
Don't you cry



Buy another lullaby

Jack is nimble - Jack is quick
Pick your pocket - turn a trick
Slow and steady - He's got time

To commit another
TV crime


One day in the life of the lonely
Back again on the round about
What do they need

Somebody to love

One night in the life of the lonely

Another miracle on the screen
What did they see
Somebody to love again


A supermarket of salvation
Take a look inside the store

Shop around and find forgiveness for yourself
But he gives more


Holy father - Holy ghost
Who's the one who hurts you most
Rock the cradle

When you cry
Scream another lullaby


Jack be nimble - Jack be slick
Take the money - Get out quick
Slow and steady - So much time

To commit another
TV Crime - TV Crime
