Used to see him hanging around everywhere

In a world of his own

See him hanging round street corners

Where we would meet

He was a lonely kid

Now they tell us that he's moved on

Ain't been seen for so long don't know where he's gone...



It's been so longbut I'm on the road and

Though it ain't been easy

At least I made it on my own

My tongue's been tied for far too long

And now you're gonna hear me

At least I know where I belong...



S.o.l.o. I'm on the road

S.o.l.o. I'm on my own



Y'see everybody's got someone

To lay their troubled lives upon

I'm really glad I've only got my own...



Once upon a timewell I had lots of friends

I moved freely through their lives

But two's a couple andwell three's a crowd

I was just left out

Hanging around

I've had as much now as I can take

There ain't no need to stay...



S.o.l.o. I'm on the road

S.o.l.o. I'm all alone

And everybody smiles

As I go walking by

But I 'm really glad I've only got my own...
