On My Own I'm Never Bored Songtext
von Chris Difford

On my own I know I′m safe
I have no need to misbehave
Deep within I have a faith
That keeps me tuning in
Each frequency will zing
Just like a chord
On my own I'm never bored

So here I sit alone at night
Punching shadows in the light
Half a moon is burning bright
Down by the sea
Its face looks at me
Just like a prawn
On my own I′m never bored


I hear the drunk and see his shape
He never stops to take a break
He likes brew with his cornflake
That's okay to me
But I must let it be
Or be ignored
On my own I'm never bored

On my own I can touch the sky
On my own I can climb a tree
I can reach the fruit from within me
Before it falls without getting bored
Bored with you being stuck with me

She lies in bed the land of nod
I know she dreams of being God
But her fingers are made of cod
And not of magic strokes
She sleeps with other blokes
Yes, I′m assured
On my own I′m never bored

There was a time when I'd get pissed
But now I see a therapist
He helps me through the old red mist
He thinks I may be gay
But just like tooth decay
That feels sore
On my own I′m never bored


On my own I can touch the sky
On my own I can climb a tree
I can reach the fruit from within me
Before it falls without getting bored
Bored with you getting stuck with me

On my own I can touch the sky
On my own I can climb a tree
On my own I'm never bored
On my own I can touch the sky
On my own I can climb a tree
On my own I′m never bored
