I was alone, I didn't know what would I do
Maybe sing, maybe shave, maybe think things through
Or hide behind drink or sleeping
So I dreamt I was alone in a crowded place
And I wanted to speak
But I could not say
'Cos Jackie's still sad about it

And I'm the everyman I do my best to understand
Oh it's a shame about you
And though it happened long ago
Don't forget what made me so mean and cruel
It's a shame about you

I'm alone and cold outside the gate
Let me warm up for heaven's sake
Don't show me no blind indifference
The sound in my ears
The breath in my nose
Who wants to help?
Ah nobody does
And Jackie's still sad about it

And I'm the everyman I do my best to understand
Oh it's a shame about you,
Though it happened long ago
Please don't forget what made me so mean and cruel
It's a shame about you

Ah ah ah ah ah Jackie's still sad about it
Jackie's still sad about it
