|
| 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 roundhead 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
|
| I was faced with a choice at a difficult age
|
| Would I write a book or should I take to the stage?
|
| But in the back of my head I heard distant feet
|
| Ché Guevara and Debussy to a disco beat
|
| 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
|
| Come on, baby, 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
|
| Come on, baby
|
| Left to my own devices, I probably would
|
| Out of bed at half past ten
|
| The party animal phones a friend
|
| Picks up news about the sun
|
| And the working day has just begun
|
| Sticks with the gang at the back of the street
|
| Pass the test and you don’t compete
|
| Drive the car if you’re with me
|
| Ché Guevara’s drinking tea
|
| He reads about a new device
|
| And takes to the stage in a secret life
|
| Left to my own devices, I probably would
|
| If I was left to my own devices, I possibly would
|
| If I was left to my own devices, I probably would
|
| If I was left to my own devices, I probably would
|
| 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
|
| Come on, baby
|
| Left to my own devices, I probably would |
