Lister's Song
Words: Chris Malme
Music: "For No-One" by Lennon & McCartney
Inspiration: "Red Dwarf"
Your day breaks, your mind aches,
You wake to find three million years have gone
You're on your own
You're all alone now
You take it, you fake it.
You carry on although there's no-one here
To share your fear
You're all alone now
And in your heart there is nothing
No sign of meaning in a life lived for no-one
The one you love's been gone for years
So lonely, with only
The image of a man you once despised
But now you prize
The time he gives you.
The Cat and the Tinman
Just like a story that you read so long ago
You know
That they'll stand by you
But in your heart there is nothing
No sign of meaning in a life lived for no-one
The one you love's been gone for years
You live in your dreamworld,
A simulation for although she's dead,
She's in your head
You won't forget her.
Your day breaks, your mind aches,
You know that even with your make-do friends
That in the end
You're all alone now
And in your heart there is nothing
No sign of meaning in a life lived for no-one
The one you love's been gone for years......
