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
