Lyrics
One day, you'll be on your own
Expresses the idea that eventually, one will have to face life's challenges alone.
You won't have a shout any more
Suggests a loss of support or assistance, indicating a transition to independence.
One day, you'll be in the ground
Implies the inevitability of death and the return to the earth.
You're over and out, and
Conveys the end of a phase or situation, possibly a relationship or circumstance.
You've missed the last tube home
Highlights a missed opportunity or chance, symbolized by not catching the last train home.
One day, you'll be on your own
Repetition of the theme of solitude, loss of voice, mortality, and missed opportunities for emphasis.
You won't have a shout any more
-One day, you'll be in the ground
-You're over and out, and
-You've missed the last tube home
-Woke up this morning, heard someone snoring
Describes waking up to mundane complaints, asserting individuality, and rejecting conformity.
Knobheads going on about modern life is boring
-Bears have their own music, no-one can prove it
-Just like I'm a guy of guys
-You think I'm gonna move it
-One day, you'll be on your own
Reiterates the themes of solitude, loss, mortality, and missed chances, reinforcing the song's message.
You won't have a shout any more
-One day, you'll be in the ground
-You're over and out, and
-You've missed the last tube home
-Sum up together, nobody's the wiser
Suggests that combining experiences does not necessarily lead to wisdom, and advises enjoying life positively.
It's life in the sunshine, that's what I would advise her
-One day, you'll be on your own
Repeated emphasis on the inevitability of facing life's challenges alone and missing opportunities.
You won't have a shout any more
-One day, you'll be in the ground
-You're over and out, and
-You've missed the last tube home
-One day, you'll be on your own
Continued reinforcement of the central themes, urging acceptance of solitude and the consequences of missed chances.
You won't have a shout any more
-One day, you'll be in the ground
-You're over and out, and
-You've missed the last tube home
-Woo!
Expressive interjection, possibly indicating enthusiasm or a change in tone.
Yeh-ha!
-One day, you'll be on your own
Final repetition of the core themes, concluding the song's message about individual responsibility and life choices.
You won't have a shout any more
-One day, you'll be in the ground
-You're over and out, and
-You've missed the last tube home
