Born Alone Songtext
von RJ Thompson

I heard it on the daily news
Reporters asking for the views of police
On St Ann′s Street
And locked inside the county hall
Where magistrates are held in high esteem
And where minds meet
Lucy's balance on the ropes is wavering
Between teenage love and teenage hope
Well I hear her sing
We are born alone

I heard it on the daily news
Politicians lit a fuse attached to a time bomb
And it blew the city to the sky
And underneath the rubble lies the last of their own young
And this is her pendulum

Well I hope it′s her lowest swing
And though her heart aches not on show
She is deafening


We are born alone
With nothing to our name but flesh and bone
We are born alone

And we can start a fight tonight as one
And they'll say what they believe
They'll say what they believe
They′ll say it like they mean it
And they will say what they believe
But when the congregation leaves
They won′t redeem me

And Lucy's balance on the ropes is wavering
Between teenage love and teenage hope
Well I hear her sing

We are born alone
With nothing to our name but flesh and bone
We are born alone
And we can start a fight tonight as one

We are born alone
With nothing to our name but flesh and bone
We are born alone
And we can start a fight tonight as one
We are born alone


Well I hear her sing
She is deafening
We are born alone
Well I hear her sing
She is deafening
