lyrics

LONELY AT BEST
(Words and music by Douglas Hinton)

Sitting in a flat
Looking up at the moon one night
Thinkin' of what's done and what may be to come
All the wrongs and rights
Gettin' really tired
Of tryin' to pretend everything's alright
When nothin' could be further from the truth
On a cold lonely night

A cold lonely night
When reality bites
And every single failure
Comes to light
And all your certainties get reassessed
On a night for feeling lonely at best

You've been through
What some would construe to be a total disaster
Your girlfriend dumped you
Due to your habit of touching pasta
So now you're feeling cannelloni
Stroking macaroni
Wondering if only you weren't alone
On a cold lonely night

A cold lonely night
When reality bites
And every single failure
Comes to light
And all your certainties get reassessed
On a night for feeling lonely at best

Sanctimonious
Judgemental cretins haunt your days
Pointing fingers and telling you
That you have to change
Denigrating music and anything else
That they can't understand
Time alone's priceless far from the soulless
On a cold lonely night

A cold lonely night
When reality bites
And every single failure
Comes to light
And all your certainties get reassessed
On a night for feeling lonely at best

A cold lonely night
When reality bites
And every single failure
Comes to light
And all your certainties get reassessed
On a night for feeling lonely at best
