Some things are best left unsaid.

Long night s alone, well who the hell suggested that
Why would I want to recall all the nights I’ve felt like crap?
All the days I’ve woken up to find I was still bloody here
And all the times I’ve tried,, to drown myself inside my beer

Long nights alone to me is just no good at all
It makes me think of all the times I had back up against the wall
All the women that have broken torn and shattered my weary heart
And all the damage I’ve inflicted and the lives I’ve torn apart

Long nights alone driving an interstate removal truck
Feeling very lonely and wishing for some luck
All the trips around the place for which I got no pay
All the bosses that are laughing as they take my wages away

Long nights alone in the watch house sleeping on a cold concrete floor
Getting the toast that’s left over from about three weeks before
Going to the toilet in front of all and in full view
Trying to remember why it was me in there, and not you!!

Long nights alone I hate to think of those that are yet to come
When there’ll be bugger all to do except stick my finger up my bum
Crippled in some nursing home with me nappy and twenty cups of flammin tea
Well at least I want have to get out of bed, every time I need to pee

Long nights alone some married people may wish would come their way
Or those of you with adult children or those relatives that insist that they must stay
To be all alone, just you, not, one ,other, living, soul inside your house
To be able to hear a mossie cough or the farting of a mouse

Long nights alone will mean some different to us all
I what I consider dull and dreary you may consider quite a ball
Things that I would like to do, you may think of with some disgrace
That’s why God made us all different, and I, don’t live at your place
