Lyrics:

Live for the day, when I'm left here on my own
With no-one to betray, it's no wonder I prefer to be
A castaway, who finds a friendly shore

When you have yourself a friend
Then you have yourself a foe
My right to defend, yours to scatter with one blow
My defense, I'm defenseless

Here in the dark, I guess a few fuses have blown
The bite's back in the bark, and the garden's overgrown
I'm in a right mess, and there's a tightness in my heart

Oh why, do you always have to go away

Like a fly in the ointment, love makes my flesh creep
Love gets me hot and bothered
It's just a reward I never reap
And I'm lying on the lawn babe, hot sun overhead
Waiting for the breath of inspiration to carry me away instead
And without a doubt, without a doubt
I'm working for precious little, I'm playing the 2nd fiddle
I've been living on broken promises, living on guarantees
Sometimes at night when the moon is bright
You can see me down on my knees
I'm still looking for those home truths
An offer I can't refuse, A leap in the dark
A touch and go I got nothing left to lose

But without a doubt, without a doubt (doubtless)
I'm learning, back where I started
I'm learning, I'm broken hearted but without a doubt
Without a doubt (doubtless)
I'm working for precious little, I'm playing the 2nd fiddle
Without a doubt, but without a doubt (doubtless)
I'm learning, back where I started
I'm learning, I'm broken hearted but without a doubt

Live for the day, when I'm left here on my own
With no-one to betray, it's no wonder I prefer to be
A castaway, who finds a friendly shore

Washed up on the rocks, in the calm after the storm
I can run amok, every day's a high day and
A holiday, my hideaway I got no reason left to stay

Oh why, do you always have to go away
