| Lyrics |
I get out of bed at half past tenand phone up a friend who's a party animalturn on the news and drink some teamaybe if you're with me we'll do some shopping.
One day I'll read or learn to drive a carif you pass the test you can beat the restbut I don't like to compete or talk streetstreetstreet
I can pick up the best from the party animal.I could leave yousay goodbyeor I could love you if I triedand I couldand left to my own devices I probably would.
Pick up a brochure about the sunlearn to ignore what the photoprapher saw
I was always told that you should join a clubstick with the gang if you want to belong.I was a lonely boyno strengthno joyin a world of my own at the back of the garden
I didn't want to compete or play out on the streetfor in a secret life I was a Roundhead general.I could leave yousay goodbyeor I could love you if I triedand I couldand left to my own devices I probably wouldoh
I would !I was faced with a choice at a difficult agewould I write a book or should I take to the stage ?
Out 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 dothe way I like to picture youwhen I get home it's late at night
I pour a drink and watch the fight.
Turn off the T.V.look for a bookpick up the phonefix some foodmaybe I'll sit up all night and daywaiting for the minute I hear you say:I could leave yousay goodbye...
Come onbabysa goodbye...left to my own devices I probably wouldcome onbabyleft to my own devices I probably would.
Out of bed at half past tenthe party animal phones a friendpick up news about the sunand the working day has just begun.
Sticks with the gang at the back of the streetpass the test and he don't compete.
Drive a car if you're with me
Che Guevara's drinkinghe reads about a new deviceand takes to the stage in a secret life.I would if I couldif I was left to my own devices I probably would.
