This is a song for all of my close friends 

Anonymous neighbours with stories to tell 

I didn't realise I had so many close friends nameless and shameless with history to sell 



What's the fuss? You've gotta be in it to win it 

I want pride but I know I'll never get it 

Fame, I wanna live for 15 minutes 

I want love but my heart's not in it 



If only it was lonely at the top, I've got too much, but its never enough 

If only it was lonely at the top 

If only it was lonely at the top 



Oh oh oh oh, Hey hey, If only it was Lonely at the Top 



This is a song for all the complainers 

All the campaigners who will not give up 

They're selling their souls just to wear their sunglasses 

They say "stop the press, I want to get off" 



What's the fuss? I've gotta be in it to win it 

I want pride but i know I'll never get it 

Shame, I wanna live for 15 minutes 

I want love but my heart's not in it 



If only it was lonely at the top 

I've got too much, but it's never enough, 

If only it was lonely at the top, 

If only it was lonely... 



What's the fuss? You've gotta be in it to win it 

I want pride but I know I'll never get it 

Fame, I wanna live for 15 minutes 

I want love but my heart's not in it 



Oh oh oh oh, Hey hey 



If only it was lonely at the top, I've got too much but its never enough 

If only it was lonely at the top 

If only it was lonely at the top
