Dear Miss Lonely Hearts - Live at RDS Hall, Dublin, 1980

Dear Miss Lonely Hearts, I had to write this letter
To tell you how I came to meet her
She was sweet, but I dated her sister
That's how I made my mistake, I can't forget her

Felt depressed 'til a friend of mine suggested
That I write to this address
So unless you can find a cure for my loneliness
It will persist

(Lonely boy) looking for another
(Lonely girl) to love one another
(Lonely hearts) turn to each other
(Lonely souls) lonely souls

Dear lonely boy, I doubt if this reply will bring you joy
It seems from your letters that you lied
Or strongly implied that you were satisfied
To take her sister by your side

I became distressed at your total lack of tactfulness
So at best, all I can suggest is that you resist
Put an end to this silliness

(Lonely boy) looking for another
(Lonely girl) to love one another
(Lonely hearts) turn to each other
Lonely souls

Dear Miss Lonely Hearts, I've got problems
You're the only one I know that can solve them
I love a girl, dating her sister
If I persist in my pursuit, I will kiss her

Dear lonely girl
I doubt if this reply will bring you joy
Do not trust the boy, do not lust
Resist and do not kiss

(Lonely boy) looking for another
(Lonely girl) to love one another
(Lonely hearts) turn to each other
(Lonely souls) lonely souls

(Lonely boy)
(Lonely girl)
(Lonely hearts)
Lonely souls

Dear Miss Lonely Hearts, I had to write this letter
To tell you how I came to Dublin

I got a problem
You're the only one that can solve it
I was told by Mr Robert Geldof
That there was nowhere to play in Dublin
And that all bands were barred
From the RDS Shelbourne
So I thought to myself, I thought, I said
"This is wrong"

So I got on my aeroplane
Aer Lingus
And I flew over and I sorted it out right away
So if it happens again, please let me know
Yours sincerely
Lonely boy

Thank you
