Absolutely No-One To Blame Lyrics
This is aimed to whom it may concern
To those who would like to see me burn
And to those who may wish me well
And to anyone to whom my name might ring a bell

I’m just a no-one like you are too
A silent shadow passing through
A grain of sand on the beach of time
The echo of the bell that long since stopped to chime

And if no-one will remember my name
There’s absolutely no-one
Absolutely no-one
There’s absolutely no-one to blame

Guess I’m just tryna leave my mark
Taking a big wild shot in the dark
One day you’re here next day you’re gone
And only your memories of your life lingers on

And if no-one will remember your name
There’s absolutely no-one
Absolutely no-one
There’s absolutely no-one to blame

So you think you finally know me by now
I kinda guessed you’d think you would somehow
But after all this time walking straight down the line
I just got thing to say to that
You haven’t got a clue where I’m at

I’m just a no-one like you are too
A silent shadow passing through
A small nickel in a handful of dimes
A little drop in the ocean of time

I try to get by with out disgrace
Sometimes that’s hard to do in this place
Some aim for fame with one big blast
But even there they surely will not last

And if no-one will remember your name
There’s absolutely no-one
Absolutely no-one
There’s absolutely no-one to blame
There’s absolutely no-one
Absolutely no-one
There’s absolutely no-one to blame

Paul Robert Thomas
