Old Joe: old man joe, comes of his farm, only to facebook late at night, he knows nobody but the people he stalks on facebook, He lives in Dorset He loves his cow's petal and Maurine, he has a troubled past, his father is said to be a bad man These are all good ideas

friends
i need friends so i find friends
and hope my solitude ends
but i am still alone
i am still on my own
maurine
the closest thing i've got
petal, you're all that i am not
but you in no way can replace
other members of my race
----
CHORUS
i feel unwanted everywhere
except when i am there
i don't have to pretend
to the people i befriend
and i don't have to look my best
when i sent a friend request
and once they've let me in
the stalking can begin
----
i know more about the people i know from the internet
than i know about the people who i've actually met
still i trawl the facebook looking for my next stalkee
the next delinquent idiot who's nice enough for me
some people call me creepy and some others call me weird
others call me loner and by others i am feared
sociable and happy are the things i'd like to be
but i don't care what the people think i only care for me
----
you'd be surprised at what they post
enough to know them more than most
you'd be surprised how much i know
how far in that i can go
they think i'm crazy, think i'm mad
they think that they can blame my dad
they think that i don't have the right
but i'll be back on there tonight
----
CHORUS
