  • I want to live alone
    Because the greatest love
    Is always ruined by the bickering
    The argument of living
    So I want to live alone
    I could be happy on my own

    Live the rest of my life
    With the vaguest of feeling

    Wherever you are
    Whoever is there
    You know that I'll be here
    Wishing I could be there

    So I'm going to live alone
    I'm not saying that out love is the greatest
    But I'm in love with you
    Want to stay in love with you
    So I'm going to live alone
    Yeah I'll be happy on my own

    Live the rest of my life
    With the vaguest of feeling

    Wherever you are
    Whoever is there
    You know that I'll be here
    Wishing I could be there

    In NYC when
    I get in a taxi
    I say "man" to the driver so
    He'll think
    "Man!
    I can imagine
    Having a drink with that guy"
    "He's alright"

    Wherever you are
    Whoever is there
    You know that I'll be here
    Wishing I could be there Writer/s: Alexander Paul Kapranos Huntley, Nicholas John McCarthy, Paul Robert Thompson, Robert Hardy
