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 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 |
|
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 |
