[00:54.54]I get out of bed at half past ten
[00:58.38]Phone up a friend who's a party animal
[01:01.70]
[01:02.24]Turn on the news and drink some tea
[01:05.33]Maybe if you're with me we'll do some shopping
[01:09.27]
[01:09.87]One day I'll read or learn to drive a car
[01:13.19]If you pass the test you can beat the rest
[01:16.86]But I don't like to compete or talk street street street
[01:20.78]I can pick up the best from the party animal
[01:24.66]
[01:26.15]I could leave you say goodbye
[01:29.33]
[01:29.87]Or I could love you if I try
[01:33.09]
[01:33.73]And I could
[01:35.18]
[01:36.11]And left to my own devices I probably would
[01:41.71]
[01:44.01]Pick up a brochure about the sun
[01:47.02]
[01:47.62]Learn to ignore what the photographer saw
[01:51.10]I was always told that you should join a club
[01:55.05]Stick with the gang if you want to belong
[01:58.48]I was a lonely boy no strength no joy
[02:02.52]In a world of my own at the back of the garden
[02:05.85]I didn't want to compete or play out on the street
[02:09.85]For in a secret life I was a round head general
[02:13.73]
[02:15.32]I could leave you say goodbye
[02:18.56]
[02:19.07]Or I could love you if I try
[02:22.90]And I could
[02:24.28]
[02:25.30]And left to my own devices I probably would
[02:30.99]
[02:32.96]Left to my own devices I probably would oh I would
[02:42.26]
[02:51.50]I was faced with a choice at a difficult age
[02:55.22]Would I write a book or should I take to the stage
[02:58.77]But in the back of my head I heard distant feet
[03:02.65]Che guevara and debussy to a disco beat
[03:06.42]
[03:10.22]It's not a crime when you look the way you do
[03:13.78]
[03:14.43]The way I like to picture you
[03:17.69]
[03:18.22]When I get home it's late at night
[03:21.92]I pour a drink and watch the fight
[03:25.30]
[03:25.93]Turn off the TV look at a book
[03:28.93]
[03:29.78]Pick up the phone fix some food
[03:32.96]
[03:33.51]Maybe I'll sit up all night and day
[03:37.25]Waiting for the minute I hear you say
[03:40.44]
[03:47.99]I could leave you say goodbye
[03:51.72]Or I could love you if I try
[03:55.02]
[03:55.53]And I could
[03:57.27]
[03:57.89]And left to my own devices I probably would
[04:03.04]Come on baby say goodbye
[04:06.90]I could love you if I try
[04:10.68]And I could
[04:12.17]
[04:13.00]And left to my own devices I probably would
[04:18.80]
[04:20.80]Left to my own devices I probably would
[04:25.72]Come on baby
[04:27.13]
[04:28.30]Left to my own devices I probably would
[04:34.76]
