The Last One

James Murphy


I fail to be (what you need from me) 
I fail to see (what I fail to be) 

I don't need your help 
or need your sympathy 
...I think it's time you found somebody else 

When everybody's gone 
You'd best be moving on 
...I think it's time you found somebody else 

I'll fail to be (what you need from me) 
I'll never see (what you need to see) 

It never shall refrain 
It always comes again 
It's nice to know you're easily entertained 

I'm glad to treat you right 
comfort in the night 
It's good to see you're easily entertained 

Why does this always happen? 
I never meant to be a social call 
Whatever happened to everybody else? 
Sometimes I feel like the last one... 

You don't like what I do? Then keep me away 
This little contribution won't make a difference to me anyway 
So don't push me, I've got nothing to lose 

Cut it to the bone 
I'll spend my time alone 
I've found a way and now I'm going home 

So don't try to make me be 
What you can never be 
I've found a way and now I'm going home...
