I’ve been wandering this town
Sometimes seems that everything is closing down
Nobody seems to want to know me
The world has got so bloody cold and lonely
Sometimes I think I’m fading out, sometimes I think I’m checking out
But there’s no one to catch me, there’s no-one there to catch me
Sometimes I think of bailing out, sometimes I think of checking out
But there’s no god to catch me, no-one above to catch me
Why do we face this nonsense on our own
You, shouldn’t be on your own
I, shouldn’t be all alone
We should stand together
Then its us against the world
The sun shining all around me
Sometimes seems that the winter storms they never leave
Everybody seems to want to fight me
I can’t find the words rescue any dignity
Sometimes I think I’m fading out, sometimes I think I’m checking out
But there’s no one to catch me, there’s no-one there to catch me
Sometimes I think of bailing out, sometimes I think of checking out
But there’s smile upon a face, a smile sent to catch me.
We don’t face this nonsense on our own
You, shouldn’t be on your own
I, shouldn’t be all alone
We should stand together
Then its us against the world
You and Me and Aunty Liz
Our Mums and Dads our lovely kids
Friends straight or gay or in-between
Friends high or low and seldom seen
The bloke who runs the corner shop
His girl who got a doctorate
Those held inside who should be released
Those few brave souls who fight for peace
