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

Solitary confinement
You’re so lonely
Solitary confinement
You’re so lonely
Solitary confinement
