[Verse]
My father on the gangway
Running for luck
Sing a song, one nation
Listen
[Bridge]
They don't like it, what I love
Oh I love it, what they do
Everything so groovy today
It will be too loud too
[Chorus]
All alone, oh please
Don't turn on the light, leave me alone
All alone, oh please
Don't turn on the light, leave me alone
[Verse]
Every thirst ever
Makes you really frown
Sing a song, one nation
Listen
[Bridge]
They don't like it, what I love
Oh I love it, what they do
Everything so groovy today
Everything sunshine today
[Chorus]
If you really want me, if you really need me
Don't turn on the light, leave me alone
If you really want me, if you really need me
Don't turn on the light, leave me alone
[Bridge]
They don't like it, what I love
But I love it, what they do
Everything groovy today
Everything shining you see
[Chorus]
If you really want me, if you really need me
Don't turn on the light, leave me alone
If you really want me, if you really need me
Don't turn on the light, leave me alone
