Alive Alone

by Jules And The Polar Bears

on Fenêtîks (Bonus Track Version) (2006), Economy Package (1980)

The skies were violent on the day
That we tore unrepairably

We sat on the curb
Your voice cried
But your eyes weren't too sure

You said can't you please
Make it stop
But darling, you'll know me
Through advice both pure and crooked
Can't you see
We will not be owned

Two lives can feel
Given and given
Can't you tell
You're alive alone

Days of smiling
Just like two thirsty dogs
Days of crying
In the freshest of suns

Ah but we both know
Some things must be bought
Just to keep this push and pull tight

So darling, you'll know me
Through advice both pure and crooked
Can't you see
We will not be owned
Two lives can feel
Given and given
Can't you tell

Minds are mirrors
If you're open to facts
So imperfect that we're scared
That we're right

So now here we are
Two tired insomniacs
Trying to put this story to sleep

But darling
Can't you see
Through advice both pure and crooked
We will not be owned
Two lives can feel
Given and given
Can't you tell
You're alive alone
You're alive alone
You're alive alone
