By Yourself
Are you healthy and wealthy and wise? I'd love to see it in your eyes…
these days - you've gotta do it by yourself.
Mostly fortunes never arrive, when was poetry a passport to wealth?
These days, if you wanna survive, you've got to do it by stealth.
Nothing ever stops your your dreams staying alive, apart from your health,
These days, if you wanna survive, you've gotta do it by yourself.
You have no choice but to do it by yourself, dressed in black, like everyone else.
Like someone cold on a marble shelf, your spirit voice says 'do it by yourself'.
Listen to your voice, and no-one else's, you have no choice, but to do it by yourself.
Listen to your voice, and no-one else's, you have no choice, but to do it by yourself.
Mostly fortunes never arrive, when was poetry a passport to wealth?
These days, if you wanna survive, you've got to do it by stealth.
Nothing ever stops your dreams staying alive, apart from your health,
These days, if you wanna survive, you've gotta do it by yourself.
Listen to your voice, and no-one else's, you have no choice, but to do it by yourself.
Listen to your voice, and no-one else's, you have no choice, but to do it by yourself.
