Solo [1993 Original Recording]

Good morning, good afternoon

And what have you got to say?

Well, I'm waiting but I can't stay long

It's such a lovely day



There's a time to be talking

And there's a time when it's no use

Right now I think the things you say

Are liable to confuse



I've just gone solo

Do you play solo

Ain't life a solo?



What a wonderful way to live

She's traveling all over the world

Why the flame and all the golden

Opportunities unfurled



But no time for the gent with the Milliner Bentley

And heaven knows what else

Why he wouldn't even stand a chance

With all his oil wells



She just went solo

Do you play solo

Ain't life a solo?

Ain't life a solo?



I've always lived in a Maison

On the other side of the moon

I've always kept a unicorn

And I never sing out of tune



I could tell you that the grass

Is really greener on the other side of the hill

But I can't communicate with you

And I guess I never will



We've all gone solo

We all play solo

Ain't life a solo?

Ain't life a solo?



Ain't life a solo?

Ain't life a solo?

Ain't life a solo?
