Billy Bragg (Stephen William Bragg, Barking, Essex, England, 20 December, 1957) is an English singer, songwriter and left-wing activist. His music blends elements of folk music, punk rock and protest songs, and his lyrics mostly deal with political or romantic themes.
In 1977, Bragg formed the punk rock/pub rock band Riff Raff, and toured London's pubs and clubs. The band released a series of singles, which did not receive wide exposure. He also worked in Guy Norris Records in Barking.

The Only One (Billy Bragg)
intro: E (7th) G#m (4th) C#m (4th) D#/B (main riff)
note: play main riff throughout all the verses
Sometimes when you lose your way to me
I think you don't care at all
If you don't get here soon
I'll tear that clock down from the wall
Your family and friends don't understand
They treat me so strange
The book you said to read
Well I have read but nothings changed
AB The clocks go forward the clocks go back G#mC#mA Yet here I sit as if I were the only one (main riff) And oh you cannot hear me
Oh you cannot hear me
Can anybody hear me out there
(main riff) He's up on high horse again
You're down in the park
I'm left to fight my impulses alone here in the dark
The chain that fell off my bike last night
Is now wrapped round my heart
Sometimes I think that
Fate has been against us from the start
AB I long to let our love run free G#mC#mA Yet here I am a victim of geography (main riff) And oh you cannot hear me
Oh you cannot hear me
Can anybody hear me out there
AB She said kiss me or would you rather G#mC#mA Live in a land where the soap won't lather (main riff) And oh...
