One Is a Lonely Number

Edwyn Collins

And you will try, and you will fail again
Again, you will try and fail
'Cause in the end it's all a game, my friends
In which truth may not prevail

And if life breaks your heart
You needn't fall apart
'Cause you've still got your mind
Which will serve you in kind

If you're true to yourself

One is a lonely number
One is a lonely number
One is a lonely number

Andi if you fail it needn't be the end
The end is a ghost in time
There's many things that we can comprehend
And yet we can't define

And if life breaks your heart
You needn't fall apart
'Cause you've still got your mind
Which will serve you in kind

If you're true to yourself
One is a lonely number
One is a lonely number
One is a lonely number
