Need Somebody Lyrics - Kevin Coyne

Now, that I'm getting old and 

Now, I'm getting cold and 

There's nothing left to say 

Just like a daffodil, you know I will 

You know wilting in my way 

And I need somebody 

Yes, I need somebody 

Yes, I need, need somebody 

Now, I know I'm getting old 

This is a lonely life 

Man, without your wife 

Without a bed or view 

I'm always at the gate 

And I'm always late 

'Cause there's nothing left to do 

And I need somebody 

Yes, I need, need somebody 

Yes, I need, I need somebody 

Now, I know I'm getting old 

Strange tunes in my head 

I'll think I'll go to bed 

I think I'll change the sheets and all 

Maybe do some drawing 

Do some painting 

An antelope across my wall 

And I need somebody 

Yes, I need, need somebody 

Yes, I need anybody 

Now, I know I'm getting old 

A visitor out on the lawn 

His hair all shorn 

Is he friend or is he foe? 

Is he a man I know? 

Is he someone to sow? 

Is he someone to say hello? 

And I need somebody 

Yes, I need, need somebody 

Yes, I need, need somebody 

Now, I know I'm getting old 

So, I'm so confused 

I'm so bemused 

I think I'll settle down 

Lie down on anywhere 

Maybe in this chair 

Anywhere I just don't care 

Because I need somebody 

Yes, I need, oh, somebody 

Yes, I need anybody 

Now, I know I'm getting old 

The friend I saw is at the door 

He says, "Hello, once more 

I met you down the road" 

Great long fingers holding out 

I want to shout 

What's the point because he knows 

That I need, I need somebody 

Yes, I need somebody 

Yes, I need almost anybody 

Now, I know I'm getting old 

Yes, I need, I need somebody 

Yes, I need, I need somebody 

Oh, I need almost anybody 

Now, I know I'm getting, getting old
