Alone Again Or

Damned · Anything [1986]

Yeah, I said it's alright

I won't forget

All the times I waited patiently for you

As you do just what you choose to do

And I will be alone again tonight my dear



Yeah, I heard a funny thing

Somebody said to me

That you could be in love with almost everyone

You think people are the greatest fun

And I will be alone again tonight for you



Hey, I said its alright

You know I won't forget

All the times I waited patiently for you

Now you do just what

You choose to do

And I will be alone again tonight its true

Alone Again Or

Released on the 1986 album Anything, 'Alone Again Or' stands as a defining track in the post-punk revival of the mid-1980s. The song features the distinctive, repetitive vocal delivery of Damned frontman Dave Gelly, who delivers a hauntingly simple yet emotionally resonant performance that became a staple of their live shows. Its driving rhythm and minimalist arrangement capture the raw energy characteristic of the era's British punk scene, while the track's enduring popularity has cemented its status as a cult classic. The recording exemplifies the band's ability to blend aggressive instrumentation with introspective themes, creating a sound that remains influential in alternative rock and indie music today.
