Elliott Smith No Name #1 song lyrics

At a party, he was waiting

Looking kind of spooky and withdrawn

Like he could be underwater

The mighty mother with her hundred arms

Swept all aside

I hate to walk behind other people's ambition

I saw you waiting saint like with your warning

Leave alone, you don't belong here

He got nervous, started whistling

Every thought a ricochet

Did you notice? Well, I wondered

What's the worst thing I could say?

And I froze up and sighed

You remind me of someone's daughter

I forgot her, I forgot her name ashamed

Go home and live with your pain

Leave alone, leave alone

'Cos you know you don't belong

You don't belong here

And when I go, don't you follow?

Leave alone, leave alone

'Cos you know you don't belong

You don't belong here

Slip out quiet, nobody's looking

Leave alone, you don't belong here
