Solitary Guys

We said you were marriage material We were living on cereal in our flat by the bay No one would have said it was dignified It's a miracle no one died in a horrific way. You were all we had to live for Was never meant to be You were not a real woman But how were we to see? We could not keep from crying when we realised We were just another bunch of solitary guys. When you first disappeared we were overjoyed You'd not been letting us boys be boys And we'd just wanted to play But slowly it dawned that there was now nothing for us Might as well lie in front of a bus Hopeless in every way. Cause you were all we'd had to live for Was never meant to be Cause we were never real men But we could never see It was hard to keep from crying when we realised We were now forever to be solitary guys.
