| Lyrics: | 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 Dbussy 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 |
