The Specials
The Lonely Crowd
Put out my cigarette
And switch off the TV set
This is not the life for me
I'm going out tonight
Put on my trendy clothes
And head for where the in crowd goes
Might find true love who knows
Tonight might be the night
Will you be there? will you see me?
In the lonely crowd
I can hear you, can you hear me?
Everybody's voices loud
I want some freedom
From the tedium
Got nowhere to go tonight
I'm in the lonely crowd
So turn the lights down (low)
And play the music loud
What the hell is wrong in here?
There's nothing going on (and on)
Did someone cut the atmosphere with a knife?
(Stare) Stare at each other
Wondering what is the matter
Mutter in a nervous stutter-
D'you call this life?
I can see you, can you see me?
Lost in the lonely crowd
I can hear you, can you hear me?
Everybody's shouting loud
Give me some freedom
From the tedium
Got nowhere to go tonight
I'm in the lonely crowd
So turn the lights down (low)
Play the music loud
I've got nowhere to go tonight
I'm in the lonely crowd
So turn the lights down (low)
Play the music loud
We got nowhere to go
I'm in the lonely crowd
So turn the lights down (low)
Play the music loud
Got nowhere to go tonight
Nowhere to go
