Todd Rundgren - The Want Of A Nail lyrics

Your rating:

I had plans so big
  But the devil's in the details
  I left out one thing
  No one to love me
  No one to love me
  No one to love

  For the want of a nail, the world was lost
  For the want of a nail, the world was lost

  For the want of a nail, the shoe was lost
  For the want of a shoe, the horse was lost
  For the want of a horse, the rider was lost
  For the want of a rider, the message was lost

  For the want of a rider, the message was lost
  For the want of a message, the battle was lost
  For the want of a battle, the war was lost
  For the want of a war, the kingdom was lost

  (Such a tiny thing)

  You're askin'
  What's all this talk about horses and war?
  Put yourself in the place of the man at the forge
  And day after day you live a life without love
  'Til the morning you can't take it anymore
  And you don't get up

  Multiply it a billion times
  Spread it all 'round the world
  Put the curse of loneliness on every boy and every girl
  Until everybody's kicking, everybody's scratching
  Everything seems to fail
  And it was all for the want of a nail

  Tell me what else could the answer be
  Don't hold back now
  Give me all your love
  Just a little more love
  A little tiny bit of love
