That 80's thang!

I thought I'd diverge and post song lyrics from one of my 80's favorites, The Motels. I remember taking a group of intermeidiate school kids from Kawananakoa to Kauai for a Spring trip. They got so sick of listening to my Motels tape All For One I thought they'd jump from my station wagon. I bet some of those kids who are adults today still have some residual psychological trauma!

Only the Lonely

We walked the loneliest mile
We smiled without any style
We kiss altogether wrong
No intention

We lied about each others drinks
We lived without each other thinkin'
What anyone would do
Without me and you

It's like I told you
Only the lonely can play
So hold on here we go
Hold on to nothin' we know
I feel so lonely way up here

You mention the time we were together
So long ago, well I don't remember
All I know is that it makes me feel good now

It's like I told you
Only the lonely can play
Only the lonely
Only the lonely can play

Only the lonely
Only the lonely can play
It's like I told you
Only the lonely can play
Only the lonely
Only the lonely can play
