Artist/Band: Todd Rundgren
Lyrics for Song: The Want Of A Nail
Lyrics for Album: Nearly Human [1989]



I've been wrong

I had plans so big

But the devil's in the details

I left out one thing

No one to love me

No one to love me

No one to love

For the want of a nail, the world was lost

For the want of a nail, the world was lost

For the want of a nail, the shoe was lost

For the want of a shoe, the horse was lost

For the want of a horse, the rider was lost

For the want of a rider, the message was lost

For the want of a rider, the message was lost

For the want of a message, the battle was lost

For the want of a battle, the war was lost

For the want of a war, the kingdom was lost

(Such a tiny thing)

You're askin'

What's all this talk about horses and war?

Put yourself in the place of the man at the forge

And day after day you live a life without love

'Til the morning you can't take it anymore

And you don't get up

Multiply it a billion times

Spread it all 'round the world

Put the curse of loneliness on every boy and every girl

Until everybody's kicking, everybody's scratching

Everything seems to fail

And it was all for the want of a nail

Tell me what else could the answer be

Don't hold back now

Give me all your love

Just a little more love

A little tiny bit of love
