Labi Siffre lyrics : "Most People Sleep Alone"
Our love will last forever
Meaning every word
Now it seems absurd
Those human complications
Destroyed our love relations
One in 3 it's said
And that's just those who've wed
I read the Sunday papers
The heat, the love, the lust
They say we're always at it
But that's not us, most
[chorus]
Most people sleep alone
No matter what the papers say
Loneliness is here to stay
And the baby cries
Some say we're too permissive
The orgy gets remistive
It happened somewhere else
We were on the shelf
Victorian adherence
They stick it for appearance
Duty not love it's dead
A graveyard of their dead
They say we live for pleasure
It's kind of hard to tell
If this is self indulgence
It hurts like hell, most
[chorus]
Sad is easy
But we've been shattered
Separate sorrows
In separate rooms
Understanding to the marrow
Understood the love we lost
Now we're fading into shadows
The world is full of strangers
In this heartbreak hotel
If this is self-indulgence
It hurts like hell, most
[chorus]
Most,
[chorus]
Most,
[chorus]
