From his 1976 album "What's Wrong With This Picture?" Lyrics: He was born on a summer day, 1951 And with the slap of a hand He had landed as an only son His mother and father said "what a lovely boy" We'll teach him what we learned Ah yes, just what we learned We'll dress him up warmly and We'll send him to school It'll teach him how to fight To be nobody's fool Oh, oh, what a lonely boy Oh, what a lonely boy Oh, what a lonely boy In the summer of '53 his mother Brought him a sister But she told him "we must attend to her needs" "She's so much younger than you" Well, he ran down the hall and he cried Oh, how could his parents have lied When they said he was an only son He thought he was the only one Oh, oh, what a lonely boy Oh, what a lonely boy Oh, what a lonely boy [Instrumental Interlude] Goodbye Mama Goodbye to you Goodbye Papa I'm pushin' on through He left home on a winter day, 1969 And he hoped to find all the love He had lost in that earlier time Well, his sister grew up And she married a man He gave her a son Ah yes, a lovely son They dressed him up warmly They sent him to school It taught him how to fight To be nobody's fool Oh, oh, what a lonely boy Oh, what a lonely boy Oh, what a lonely boy
