Pet Shop Boys - Left To My Own Devices lyrics

(tennant/lowe) ------------------------- (uuu.....us) 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 pa** 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 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 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 Pa** the test - and you don't compete Drive the car, if you're with me Che guevara's drinking tea He reads about a new device And takes to the stage in a secret life (uuu.....us) Left to my own devices, i probably would If i was left to my own devices, i possibly would (uuu.....us) If i was left to my own devices, i probably would 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
