You're bored with snooker on the TV
So you microwave a meal
It's 8 o clock on a tuesday night
And you're starting to feel...

Like some beer down the pub
To drown the plastic food
Or the ear of a friend
To taste your filthy mood Oh yeah

You might need somebody
You might need somebody
You might need somebody to love

Your car needs tax and an M.O.T.
But you aint got the cash
You look like **** and you need some stuff
For that nasty rash

But the chemist is closed
So you knock one out
Some light relief
From all of your doubts Oh yeah

You might need somebody
You might need somebody
You might need somebody to love
Someone in your corner
Someone in your life that you can trust

If you read between the lines in the pages of our times
The rhymes are cold; the reasons are priceless
There's concealment in the air
And only the brave will dare to grind daffodils in a mincer

You left town just the other week
You left town on a losing streak
If the truth be known you shouldn't have to lie
With your hindsight you'll never be a psychic

So joined a bunch of religious freaks
Didn't you know Moses never had a motorbike? Yeah

You might need somebody
You might need somebody
You might need somebody
You might need anybody
Someone in your corner
Someone in your life that you can trust
You gonna need someone today
