The song everybody knows. Let the power stancing commence.
lyrics
Here I sit with a cigarette burning
All alone and you're not here
All by myself and no one to talk to
Thinking 'bout you girl is all I can do
Knowing that I pack your things up in lie
I guess I'll beware of love with a bite
Roll on, girl. Roll, roll to tomorrow
Rollin' on, girl without feeling tonight
All alone, in the night
Without you, holding me tight in the night
Without me, all alone in the night
Without you, holding me tight in the night
Pulling a point, is that all you think of
Putting another prize on the wall
Don't play around with my affections, woman
Someone you know, not someone you call
All alone, in the night
Without you, holding me tight in the night
Without me, all alone in the night
Without you, holding me tight in the night
Without you, staying alive
Without you. staying alive

Music and lyrics by Mark Gormley circa 1977. Demoed either in 1977 or 1985.
Fulfillment (as in making it sound finished) by Lesbian Concentrate.
The altered Natty collage and the rant about outsider music, its dubious cataloging and Frank Zappa financially exploiting Wild Man Fischer with a lopsided contract granting Zappa 90% of the profits by me, with elements from Natty by Stephen A. Winchell.
(natty is alright, the whole "i deserve this" angle is pretty funny, if not entirely novel, but it is what it is)
Cardiacs has finally reached Bandcamp. This is genuinely one of my favorite albums, especially with the varied compositional styles, the mixture of psychedelia and prog rock, and Timmy's lyrics. Clicker Records
