Lyrics
The song appears to be based on the work of The Smiths, using some of their techniques, such as adding major sevenths - and even features a lyric close to the one in How Soon Is Now?:
"You come in on your own and you leave on your own"
This Verve lyric can find easy comparisons with:
"and you stand on your own and you leave on your own".
Lead singer Richard Ashcroft also recorded an acoustic version of On Your Own that contained only piano and acoustic guitar, in addition to Ashcroft's vocals. The vinyl version is green and has a misprint on the b-side. The song is listed as "I See The Door", but is labeled as Daryll-Ann "Friends".
