lyrics

*as with all Joe Harvard covers, certain lyrical changes have been made, intentionally or otherwise. The best source for the true lyrics are always the originals

Sittin there in your chair.
Position here, never there.
Pull on your cigarette in the dark
So lonely. [I’m] So lonely. [You’re] So lonely. I’m so lonely

I’m sick of this and I'm sick of that.
You say ‘his’ I say ‘hers’
Light another in the dark but whoa whoa baby no place to park
So lonely. [I’m] So lonely. [You’re] So lonely. I’m so lonely

I like the pain, I must be insane. Maybe baby, you’re to blame
I’m doin’ this and I’m thinkin’ that
The problem is that I’m getting’ too fat and I’m …
Lonely. [I’m] So lonely. [You’re] So lonely. So lonely

Lonely lonely, you’re sittin’ in that chair
Lonely, lonely baby think I need some air
Lonely lonely, well you don’t really care
Lonely lonely, baby think I need some air!

Joe Harvard recommends:

ONE ep
by Bareface

Solid songs & DIY, no nonsense recordings. Sweet. Joe Harvard
go to album
St. Sebastian of the Short Stage (EP)
by Franz Nicolay

This LP has a nicely boisterous cover of the Modern Lovers' "New England", plus some cool bell timbres & a neat story line on "Ballad of Hollis Mason Wadsworth Jr". The other tunes are cool too. Joe Harvard
go to album
Hopelessness
by 117

117 is the brainchild of Ben Ross, & Hopelessness aptly provides the same gritty, powerful, often wry material their live sets have become known for. Joe Harvard
