Wilco - The Lonely 1 Lyrics






After the show you walked right past.
Arms reached out for your autograph.
And as you flashed your backstage pass.
I caught your eye with a camera's flash.
When the band came out they stood behind you.
Cymbals crashed, the lights went blue.
You stood alone in the halo's haze.
Shinny guitar hung on gold lamay.
And you, you were the lonely one.
You were the lonely one.
When you perform it's so intense.
When the critics pan I write in your defense.
I understand I'm just a fan, I'm just a fan.
When I get home I turn off the alarm.
I've checked the phone, no messages on.
I play the ones from yesterday.
I play you're song just to hear you say that....
You, you're the lonely one.
You are the lonely one.
You, you're the lonely one.
You are the lonely one.

    Fuckin Fantastic. God bless Wilco

    My favorite from Wilco, hands down. For some reason, this song reminds me of Elvis Presley's life.

    L.... C....

    Lisa Coston - you’re absolutely right...my first thought the first time I heard it...”shining on gold lame”

    L.... C....

    I remember reading this song is about Paul Westerberg , which would make a lot of sense as he also loved to wear gold lamé. The Replacements was the one band I immediately thought about when I first heard Wilco's A.M, playing in the background in a record shop that has since closed down, in Holland in 1994.

  3. 1.... ....

    Heard this song today for the 1st time on Jonesy's Jukebox on 95.5 KLOS and loved it !

  4. M.... H....

    Always thought this song should've been used in Almost Famous but that would've required some outside the box thinking on the part of Cameron Crowe.

  5. F.... F....

    like all great songs captures a truth

  6. A.... C....

    Anyone know if there's an instrumental of this song?

  7. S.... ....

    Beautiful song. Midwestern cornfields.

  8. g.... r....

    I dedicate my like to the one, lone dislike. #nullandvoid <3

  9. P.... R....

    I bought this album when it came out. I was working on a boat down in Miami Beach and would go for walks in the evening and listen to music and just wander around and try to disappear a little. This band's music, especially this tune helped to accomplish that.

  10. p.... ....

    Good song..

  11. l.... m....

    Tweedy, todo lo que hacés es lindo

    l.... m....

    Tweedy es un tesoro!

  12. j.... ....

    First Wilco song I ever heard.My life has forever transfigured because of them, <3.

  13. T.... ....

    Beautiful. With Radiohead and Wilco are the best bands of the last 15 past years.

    T.... ....

    Arcade fire and The strokes too.

  14. C.... L....

    Ive been a dedicated Wilco fan since 2006, and I just recently have stumbled across this amazing song. Does anyone else have that happen when listening to wilco? you seem to re listen to songs and find new favourites after years of listening.

  15. J.... A....

    There's a shitty upload of this album floating around containing the version of this song that's on the soundtrack to Chelsea Walls, which is performed by two actors in the movie

  16. j.... ....

    Why does my album version sound different...

  17. F.... ....

    Absolute magic on this track. Probably one of the best out of Wilco's career and that's saying a lot because their career is a strong one.

  18. e.... ....

    great, great song.
