The Maccabees
No kind words - album version*
Dear friend of mine has broken his union
Broke from tradition
Broken his vision of the future

Alone alone alone
Not alone at all

Dear friend of mine is testing his body
Tempting disaster
Testing water with another's daughter

Alone alone alone
Not alone at all

Dear friend of mine, my ear is bending
I'm not helping
I'm not telling
I'm not solving
I'm not saying you're pretending

Alone alone alone
Not alone at all

Alone alone alone
Not alone at all
Dear friend of mine is helpless without helping
Healed without scab or scar
New union found him alone

Alone alone alone
Not alone at all

Alone alone alone
Not alone at all

If you've got no kind words to say
You should say nothing more at all
If you've got no kind words to say
You should say nothing more at all

If you've got no kind words to say
Carry no weight
Let the weight carry you

If you've got no kind words to say
You should say nothing more at all
