Solitary Confinement by The Members Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1979

You are living in the suburbs
And you have problems with your parents
So you move on up to London town
Where you think everything's happening, going down

Living in a bedsit
Travelling on a tube train
Working all day long
And you know no one
So you don't go out
And you eat out of tins
And you watch television
Solitary confinement

I have got a good job
And I am working in the city
Get the tube train at 8 o'clock and 5
And a really don't know if I'm dead or alive

Living in a bedsit
Travelling on a tube train
Working all day long
And you know no one
So you don't go out
And you eat out of tins
And you watch television
Solitary confinement
Well I was living in Camberley, and, you know, I thought I'd move up to town, you know, so I got this bedsit on earls court, and like, not many people come to visit me, in fact no one comes at all, but there's this bird across the way who, I mean I know she fancies me and everything, but well, I got it sussed, she got a 40 inch bust, and she's just...just just!

Living in a bedsit
Travelling on a tube train
Working all day long
And you know no one
So you don't go out
And you eat out of tins
And you watch television
Solitary confinement

You're so lonely
Solitary confinement
You're so lonely
Solitary confinement

The Members are going to tell you what it's like to be

On your own
By yourself
On your own
By yourself
On your own
By yourself
On your own
By yourself
By yourself
By yourself
By yourself
By yourself
By yourself
By yourself
By yourself
By yourself
Buy yourself this record
And it's lonely for you
And it's lonely for me
And it's lonely for all of us, can't you see?

Living in a bedsit
Travelling on a tube train
Working all day long
And you know no one
So you don't go out
And you eat out of tins
And you watch television
Solitary confinement
