| Give me hope | 
| Give me all your love | 
| Tell me now | 
| You’re coming home tonight | 
| Have some faith | 
| In the love we share | 
| Is it fate | 
| Does darkness end in light | 
| Never been closer to heaven | 
| Never been further away | 
| Never been closer to heaven | 
| Never been further away | 
| I get out of bed at half past ten | 
| Phone up a friend, who’s a party animal | 
| Turn on the news and drink some tea | 
| Maybe if you’re with me we’ll do some shopping | 
| One day I’ll read, or learn to drive a car | 
| If you pass the test, you can beat the rest | 
| But I don’t like to compete, or talk street, street, street | 
| I can pick up the best from the party animal | 
| I could leave you, say goodbye | 
| Or I could love you, if I try | 
| And I could | 
| And left to my own devices, I probably would | 
| Left to my own devices, I probably would | 
| Pick up a brochure about the sun | 
| Learn to ignore what the photographer saw | 
| I was always told that you should join a club | 
| Stick with the gang, if you want to belong | 
| I was a lonely boy, no strength, no joy | 
| In a world of my own at the back of the garden | 
| I didn’t want to compete, or play out on the street | 
| For in a secret life I was a round head general | 
| I could leave you, say goodbye | 
| Or I could love you, if I try | 
| And I could | 
| And left to my own devices, I probably would | 
| Left to my own devices, I probably would | 
| Oh, I would | 
| Che Guevara to a disco beat | 
| Claude Debussy a heartbeat | 
| It’s not a crime when you look the way you do | 
| The way I like to picture you | 
| When I get home, it’s late at night | 
| I pour a drink and watch the fight | 
| Turn off the TV, look at a book | 
| Pick up the phone, fix some food | 
| Maybe I’ll sit up all night and day | 
| Waiting for the minute I hear you say | 
| I could leave you, say goodbye | 
| Or I could love you, if I try | 
| And I could | 
| And left to my own devices, I probably would | 
| And left to my own devices, I probably would | 
| Come on, baby | 
| Left to my own devices, I probably would |
