	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

	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

	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
	Che Guevara and De‚bussy 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

	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

	Pick up a brochure about the sun
