The Loneliest Jukebox

I've been feeling so down and out
Now you hate me and you've left this town
And some bum in New York City, scribbles a few more lines down
A love song he doesn't feel for
But it earns him a buck
And as I sit here in England
It's appropriate enough
It haunts my soul, breaks my heart and threatens to pull it from me

Chorus:
It's the loneliest jukebox I have found
The loneliest jukebox in this cold and lonely town

I've got to get drunk tonight, but this companion will only cause me pain
And out of that smokey bar-room will rise a shattering refrain
When you go out to a bar, when you feel bad
There's always a popular record
That makes you wish that you never had
It haunts your soul, breaks your heart and threatens to pull it from you

Chorus:
It's the loneliest jukebox I have found
The loneliest jukebox in this cold and lonely town

Out of my way, this cannot go on
I've got to change this record and put something happier on
I was so disappointed when I got there
'cos every selection on that machine was about a broken love affair
They all haunt my soul, all break my heart
They were all weeping with me

Chorus:
It's the loneliest jukebox I have found
The loneliest jukebox in this cold and lonely town
It's the loneliest jukebox I have found
The loneliest jukebox in this cold and lonely town
The loneliest
Loneliest
Loneliest jukebox, for miles around
