[00:53.43] I get out of bed at half past ten
[00:57.33] Phone up a friend, who's a party animal
[01:01.14] Turn on the news and drink some tea
[01:04.17] Maybe if you're with me we'll do some shopping
[01:08.64] One day I'll read, or learn to drive a car
[01:12.06] If you pass the test, you can beat the rest
[01:15.57] But I don't like to compete, or talk street, street, street
[01:19.59] I can pick up the best from the party animal
[01:26.70] I could leave you, say goodbye
[01:28.77] Or I could love you, if I try
[01:31.32] And I could
[01:35.07] And left to my own devices, I probably would
[01:42.78] Pick up a brochure about the sun
[01:46.47] Learn to ignore what the photographer saw
[01:49.89] I was always told that you should join a club
[01:53.94] Stick with the gang, if you want to belong
[01:57.18] I was a lonely boy, no strength, no joy
[02:01.29] In a world of my own at the back of the garden
[02:04.74] I didn't want to compete, or play out on the street
[02:08.52] For in a secret life I was a round head general
[02:15.84] I could leave you, say goodbye
[02:17.97] Or I could love you, if I try
[02:20.46] And I could
[02:24.75] And left to my own devices, I probably would
[02:27.66] Left to my own devices, I probably would
[02:35.82] Oh, I would
[02:50.46] I was faced with a choice at a difficult age
[02:53.91] Would I write a book? Or should I take to the stage?
[02:57.63] But in the back of my head I heard distant feet
[03:01.50] Che Guevara and De‚bussy to a disco beat
[03:08.91] It's not a crime when you look the way you do
[03:13.26] The way I like to picture you
[03:16.95] When I get home, it's late at night
[03:20.76] I pour a drink and watch the fight
[03:24.75] Turn off the TV, look at a book
[03:28.53] Pick up the phone, fix some food
[03:32.22] Maybe I'll sit up all night and day
[03:36.03] Waiting for the minute I hear you say
[03:48.42] I could leave you, say goodbye
[03:50.46] Or I could love you, if I try
[03:53.07] And I could
[03:56.76] And left to my own devices, I probably would
[04:00.27] Come on, baby, say goodbye
[04:05.64] Or I could love you, if I try
[04:08.19] And I could
[04:11.91] And left to my own devices, I probably would
[04:13.38] Left to my own devices, I probably would
[04:15.30] (Come on baby)
[04:15.57] Left to my own devices, I probably would
