After the show you walked right past.
Arms reached out for your autograph.
And as you flashed your backstage pass.
I caught your eye with a camera's flash.
When the band came out they stood behind you.
Cymbals crashed, the lights went blue.
You stood alone in the halo's haze.
Shiny guitar hung on gold lamé.
And you, you were the lonely one.
You were the lonely one.
When you perform it's so intense.
When the critics pan I write in your defense.
I understand I'm just a fan, I'm just a fan.
When I get home I turn off the alarm.
I've checked the phone, no messages on.
I play the ones from yesterday.
I play your song just to hear you say that....
You, you're the lonely one.
You are the lonely one.
You, you're the lonely one.
You are the lonely one.

Review about The Lonely 1 My First | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/9/2008
The first WILCO song I loved. I bought the double album BEING THERE because i loved the Golden Smog and wanted more. I didnt care much for most of the album at first, but this one song kept creeping into my head. It just had such deep emotion i knew it came from the writer/singers heart. Very gradually i started to like more of the album. Soon i was hooked on Wilco and within a year i had all their albums.
Growing up in the 60's/70's i was used to great music and wondered why nobody made any today. Well at least someone finally is.
Thanks Tweedy

You have to watch the film Chelsea Walls if you like this song... Robert Sean Leonard sings it and it's... amazing! he's not just the best actor in the world... he's also a great singer!
