Lyrics
One day, you'll be on your own
At some point in the future, you'll be independent and responsible for yourself.
You won't have a shout any more
You won't have a chance to speak up or make yourself heard anymore.
One day, you'll be in the ground
Eventually, you'll be deceased and buried in the ground.
You're over and out, and
You'll be finished or defeated, and
You've missed the last tube home
You'll have missed the final public transport to get back home.
One day, you'll be on your own
Repeated chorus emphasizing the inevitability of solitude, silence, mortality, and missed 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
-Woke up this morning, heard someone snoring

One day, you'll be on your own

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

When everything is considered together, no one becomes any wiser.
It's life in the sunshine, that's what I would advise her
