Lyrics Save Me - Live at La Trobe - The Angels

There was nobody there and the telephone was ringing
So I took the call and I wrote the message for you
Up on the wall

Long-nosed old pros, trading used quotes
Men with pencils making copious notes
Out in the dark of the far-left wing
There's an old man shaking a sheet of tin
Judgements fall into well-spun webs
Ditches are full of used bayonets
The local priest still holds the floor
The same old line from the time before

Don't you know when I've had enough
I laugh at love, ain't that tough
Don't you know when I've had enough
Like to be alone
Got to be alone, wanna be alone

Sacred professions still guard the wall
But the castle keeps guaranteed to fall
Selling souls for a mean half-truth
Clown and the king share the palace roof
Broken flowers leave a funeral train
When you're out in the desert, don't you pray for rain

Don't you know when I've had enough
I laugh at love, all that stuff
Don't you know when I've had enough
Like to be alone
Got to be alone, just to be alone

They fool themselves
Into thinking that they're talking about it
But they never doubted
Got to be alone, wanna be alone

Whoa, save me, save me
Save me, save me
Got to be alone, just to be alone

Oh, don't you know when I've had enough
Laugh at love, all that talk
Don't you know when I've had enough
Laugh at love and all that stuff
Don't you know when I've had enough, like to be alone
Got to be alone, just to be alone
Oh, to be alone, got to be alone
Alone, alone, alone, alone
Wanna be alone, just to be alone
Got to be alone
