In a dark little room At the top of the stair Sits a man all alone He has no love to share All alone what a shame On his shoulders place the blame All alone what a shame No-one home who's to blame What a shame In a room just like his On the other side of town Sits a girl reading books There's no-one else around All alone what a shame On her shoulders place the blame All alone what a shame No-one home who's to blame What a shame Now they both go to work On the same bus everyday But their eyes never meet Life is cruel that way
