Song lyrics
You're alone above the street somewhere 
Wondering how you'll ever count out there 
You can walk, you can talk, you can fight 
But inside you've got something to write 
In your hand you hold your only pen 
Never spend your guitar or your pen 
Your guitar or your pen 
Your guitar or your pen 
Your guitar or your pen 
Your guitar or your pen 

When you take up a pencil and sharpen it up 
When you're kicking the fence and still nothing will budge 
When the words are immobile until you sit down 
Never feel they're worth keeping, they're not easily found 
Then you know in some strange unexplainable way 
You must really have something 
Jumping, thumping, fighting, hiding away 
Important to say 

When you sing through the verse and you end in a scream 
And you swear and you curse cos the rhyming ain't clean 
But it suddenly comes after years of delay 
You pick up your guitar and you can suddenly play 
When your fingers are bleeding and your knuckles are white 
Then you can be sure, you can open the door 
Get up of the floor tonight 
You have something to write 

When you wanna complain there's no one can stop you 
But when your music proclaims there's no one can top you
You are wearing your heart on your jumping feet 
You've got a head start away from the street 
But is that what you want, to be rich and be gone
Could be there's just one thing left in the end 
Your guitar and your pen

When you sing to your Mum and you hum and you croon 
And she says that she'd like it with more of a tune 
And you smash your guitar at the end of the bed 
Then you stick it together and start writing again 
And you know that it won't be too long till your back 
To bring her some money, she's calling you honey 
Stashed in a bloody great sack 
In your Cadillac 

You're alone 
You're alone 
You're alone above the street somewhere 
Wondering how you'll ever count out there 
You can walk, you can talk, you can fight 
But inside you've got something to write 
In your hand you hold your only pen 
Never spend your guitar or your pen 
Your guitar or your pen 
Your guitar or your pen 
Your guitar or your pen 
Your guitar or your pen 
Your guitar or your pen 
Your guitar or your pen 
Your guitar or your pen 
Your guitar or your pen 

Never spend your guitar or your pen
