I WON'T BE COMING HOME

TO EVERYBODY ELSE, IT WAS JUST ANOTHER DAY,

KEN GOT UP TO GO TO WORK, IN THE USUAL WAY,

HIS TIE WAS ALREADY KNOTTED AS HE SLIPPED IT OVER HIS HEAD,

AND AS HE WALKED OUT THE DOOR THIS IS WHAT HE SAID.

CHORUS

I WON'T BE COMING HOME, I NEED SOME TIME ON MY OWN,

THINGS AIN'T WHAT THEY USED TO BE,

IT ALL SEEMS CRAZY TO ME.

AS HE WALKED DOWN THE STREET, HE COULDN'T THINK STRAIGHT AT ALL,

HE FELT AS IF HE WAS, BANGING HIS HEAD AGAINST A BRICK WALL,

A DOG RAN IN TO THE ROAD, WAS KNOCKED DOWN BY A PASSING VAN,

AND AS THE PEOPLE TRIED TO HELP THAT DOG,

THEY COULDN'T HELP THAT MAN.

GUITAR BREAK

ALL ALONE IN THE CRUEL WORLD, HE FELT THAT NOBODY CARED AT ALL,

HE COULDN'T TALK TO HIS FRIENDS NO MORE,

HE FELT THEY WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WALL,

THEN THE WORLD STARTED SPINNING ROUND,

AND HE FELL DOWN TO THE GROUND,

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE, PEOPLE GATHERED AROUND.

CHORUS X 2
