Solitude has only existed    since overspill demanded a view   Finding a space has only been around    since the invention of the bustling queue   Forcing everyone to be a loner    if they didn't join the regular crew   And if you weren't in the in crowd    you were cast away   So dont let them cast away you      Tight-knit families are tight enough    for stranglehold or turn of the screw   And the only reason we wanted out    was the sort of crowd that 'ordinary' drew      Emptiness needs rowdiness,    a reminder of why it's recluse   Rowdiness needs the gap    emptiness leaves to wallow in glorious youth      Tight-knit families are tight enough    for stranglehold or turn of the screw   And the only reason we wanted out    was the sort of crowd that 'ordinary' drew      So as long as Man Friday's gone by Saturday,    you're sure to find the arguments stop   You dont need time no space no room,    just a story of which they're no part   Why a gentle request to be left alone    feels like a kick in their heart,   Why any hug lasting more than one second    always seems your cue to depart      By all means be your own person,    but they choose the time and the place.   Please feel free to do your own thing,    but make sure its done at their pace.   Please feel free to do your own thing,    but make sure its done at their pace.
