Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro

 Verse 1

Here in my room in splendid isola.....tion

  Alone in the gloom in splendid isola.....tion

  Sometimes I need to be left in my own company

  So here am I in splendid isola....................tion

 Verse 2

Falling away in splendid isola.....tion

  I'm hoping I'll stay in splendid isola.....tion

  If they were right I'd agree but it's them they know not me

  So here am I in splendid isola....................tion

Verse 3

  I'm floating in a sea of my subconscious thoughts

  The skeletons are crawling through my closet walls

  No-one ever sees me I don't make a sound

  And I don't know what I'm gonna do now

  That motherless itch has got the best of me

  Transcending the things that I will never be

  But all along hallucinating life somehow

  I still don't know what I'm gonna do now

 Instrumental

 Verse 4

Pressure starts to push me through my loving daze,

  For a moment then I thought I'd lost my wicked ways

  It's not that I'm a leper when my mind allows,

  And I don't know what I'm gonna do now

  But Lennon is a memory in a student brain,

  Gripping thought pavilions guilt in freedoms chains

  Virginical construction makes the masses wow

  But I don't know what I'm gonna do now

  Yeah but I see the moon the stars and hemisphere

  I've seen the future but it don't look clear

  The past is re-appearing on my fevered brow

  And I don't know what I'm gonna do now

  No I don't know what I'm gonna do now

  No I still don't know what I'm gonna do now no no

In splendid isolation ah this is splendid isolation
