The Loneliest Jukebox

I've been feeling so down and out

Now you hate me and you've left this town

And some bum in New York City, scribbles a few more lines down

A love song he doesn't feel for

But it earns him a buck

And as I sit here in England

It's appropriate enough

It haunts my soul, breaks my heart and threatens to pull it from me



Chorus:

It's the loneliest jukebox I have found

The loneliest jukebox in this cold and lonely town



I've got to get drunk tonight, but this companion will only cause me pain

And out of that smokey bar-room will rise a shattering refrain

When you go out to a bar, when you feel bad

There's always a popular record

That makes you wish that you never had

It haunts your soul, breaks your heart and threatens to pull it from you



Chorus:

It's the loneliest jukebox I have found

The loneliest jukebox in this cold and lonely town



Out of my way, this cannot go on

I've got to change this record and put something happier on

I was so disappointed when I got there

'cos every selection on that machine was about a broken love affair

They all haunt my soul, all break my heart

They were all weeping with me



Chorus:

It's the loneliest jukebox I have found

The loneliest jukebox in this cold and lonely town

It's the loneliest jukebox I have found

The loneliest jukebox in this cold and lonely town

The loneliest

Loneliest

Loneliest jukebox, for miles around
