You are living in the suburbs,
And you have problems with your parents,
So you move on up to London town,
Where you think everything's happening, going down.
Living in a bedsit,
Travelling on a tube train,
Working all day long.
And you know no one,
So you don't go out,
And you eat out of tins,
And you watch television,
Solitary confinement.
I have got a good job,
And I am working in the city,
Get the tube train at 8 o'clock and 5,
And a really don't know if I'm dead or alive.
Living in a bedsit,
Travelling on a tube train,
Working all day long.
And you know no one,
So you don't go out,
And you eat out of tins,
And you watch television,
Solitary confinement.
Well I was living in Camberley, and, you know
I thought I'd move up to town, you know
So I got this bedsit on earls court
And like, not many people come to visit me
In fact no one comes at all, but there's this bird across the way who
I mean I know she fancies me and everything
But well, I got it sussed
She got a 40 inch bust, and she's just...just just!
Living in a bedsit,
Travelling on a tube train,
Working all day long.
And you know no one,
So you don't go out,
And you eat out of tins,
And you watch television,
Solitary confinement.
You're so lonely,
Solitary confinement,
You're so lonely,
Solitary confinement.

And it's lonely for you,
And it's lonely for me,
And it's lonely for all of us, can't you see?
Living in a bedsit,
Travelling on a tube train,
Working all day long.
And you know no one,
So you don't go out,
And you eat out of tins,
And you watch television,
Solitary confinement
