A Song for Europe 1987:
Mal Pope - "Everybody"

Everybody

Everybody's saying it's so hard to make a living
It's enough to make a grown man cry
Everybody's talking about taking and not giving
Save yourself the trouble and let those sleeping dogs lie

Too many times I've tried to change the world
With egg on my face, that old story rings true
I just said, "Everybody, everybody needs somebody
"I get the feeling that, for me, it's you"

I was talking to an old man down at the station
Both of us wasting time just waiting for trains
He said, "You're a young man, me, I'm an old man
"But neither one of us knows when it will rain"

I held my laughter back, and I thought for a while
I gotta give as good as I got, even if it won't do
I just said, "Everybody, everybody needs somebody
"Old man, you know that even goes for you"

Well, we've all got a mother, and we've all got a father
Even if we don't know their names
So many leave at the beginning, some wait until much later
Anyway, it ends up just the same

We were born with nothing, and we'll carry it with us
From the moment that we ask if we can leave the room
I just said, "Everybody, everybody needs somebody
"And in the end, I know it must be you"

I just sаid, "Everybody, everybody needs somebody
"Everybody, everybody needs someone
"Everybody needs somebody
"And in the end, I know it muѕt be you"
