The Want of a Nail

Lyrics

[Intro] 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 [Verse 1] 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 nail, the world was lost For the want of a nail, the world was lost [Verse 2] 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 For the want of a nail, the world was lost For the want of a nail, the world was lost (such a tiny thing) [Intro reprise] 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 Yes and no one to love [Verse 3] 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 [Outro] (For the want of a nail) Tell me what else could the answer be (For the want of a nail) (For the want of a nail) Don't hold back now (For the want of a nail) Hey hey (For the want of a nail the world was lost) Want of a nail (For the want of a nail the world was lost) Wooh (For the want of a nail the world was lost) Don't hold back now (For the want of a nail the world was lost) Just a little tiny bit of love (For the want of a nail the world was lost) Don't hold back, don't hold back (For the want of a nail the world was lost) Give me all your love (For the want of a nail the world was lost) Don't hold back, don't hold back (For the want of a nail the world was lost) Hey, hey, hey! (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 world was lost) (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 world was lost) (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 world was lost) (For the want of a nail the world was lost) (For the want of a nail the world was lost)...
