Intro

Verse 1

Here in my room in splendid isola.....tion

Alone in the gloom in splendid isola.....tion

Sometimes I need to be left in my own company

So here am I in splendid isola....................tion

Verse 2

Falling away in splendid isola.....tion

I'm hoping I'll stay in splendid isola.....tion

If they were right I'd agree but it's them they know not me

So here am I in splendid isola....................tion

Verse 3

I'm floating in a sea of my subconscious thoughts

The skeletons are crawling through my closet walls

No-one ever sees me I don't make a sound

And I don't know what I'm gonna do now

That motherless itch has got the best of me

Transcending the things that I will never be

But all along hallucinating life somehow

I still don't know what I'm gonna do now

Instrumental

Verse 4

Pressure starts to push me through my loving daze,

For a moment then I thought I'd lost my wicked ways

It's not that I'm a leper when my mind allows,

And I don't know what I'm gonna do now

But Lennon is a memory in a student brain,

Gripping thought pavilions guilt in freedoms chains

Virginical construction makes the masses wow

But I don't know what I'm gonna do now

Yeah but I see the moon the stars and hemisphere

I've seen the future but it don't look clear

The past is re-appearing on my fevered brow

And I don't know what I'm gonna do now

No I don't know what I'm gonna do now

No I still don't know what I'm gonna do now no no

In splendid isolation ah this is splendid isolation
