Lyrics
Alone Again, Napoleon
Cancel the sun, I don't need this day to start
I've nowhere to go and I feel like Bonaparte
Stuck on St Helena, nothing left but dreams
And no one there to talk to like he could to Josephine
All gone, Napoleon
All alone again
Cachez la lune, je veux rester dans le noir
J'ai rien pour dire et personne que je veux voir
Toutes les choses pas trouvées, toutes les choses perdues
Maintenant, je reste, j'attend mon Waterloo
Jusqu' au, jusqu' au bout
J'attend mon Waterloo
It's a long, long way from home
Cancel the sun, I don't need this day to start
I've nowhere to go and I feel like Bonaparte
Stuck on St Helena, nothing left but dreams
And no one there to talk to like he could to Josephine
All gone, Napoleon
All alone again
