Todd Rundgren - The Want of a Nail lyrics
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, yeah
 World was lost, world was lost
 Yeah, 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
 World was lost, world was lost
 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
 World was lost, world was lostTodd Rundgren - The Want of a Nail - http://motolyrics.com/todd-rundgren/the-want-of-a-nail-lyrics.html
 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, no one to love me
 I said no one to love
 You?re askin?, "What?s all this talk about horses and war?"
 Put yourself in the place of the man at the forge
 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
 Tell me what else could the answer be, oh yeah
 Don?t hold back now
 For the want of a nail, the world was lost
 World was lost
 World was lost
 World was lost
