Pet Shop Boys - Left To My Own Devices Lyrics
(tennant/lowe)-------------------------(uuu.....us)I get out of bed at half past tenPhone up a friend, whos a party animalTurn on the news and drink some teaMaybe if youre with me well do some shoppingOne day Ill read, or learn to drive a carIf you pass the test, you can beat the restBut I dont like to compete, or talk street, street, streetI can pick up the best from the party animalI could leave you, say goodbyeOr I could love you, if I tryAnd I couldAnd left to my own devices, I probably wouldLeft to my own devices, I probably wouldPick up a brochure about the sunLearn to ignore what the photographer sawI was always told that you should join a clubStick with the gang, if you want to belongI was a lonely boy, no strength, no joyIn a world of my own at the back of the gardenI didnt want to compete, or play out on the streetFor in a secret life I was a round head generalI could leave you, say goodbyeOr I could love you, if I tryAnd I couldAnd left to my own devices, I probably wouldLeft to my own devices, I probably wouldOh, I wouldI was faced with a choice at a difficult ageWould I write a book? or should I take to the stage?But in the back of my head I heard distant feetChe guevara and debussy to a disco beatIts not a crime when you look the way you doThe way I like to picture youWhen I get home, its late at nightI pour a drink and watch the fightTurn off the tv, look at a bookPick up the phone, fix some foodMaybe Ill sit up all night and dayWaiting for the minute I hear you sayI could leave you, say goodbyeOr I could love you, if I tryAnd I couldAnd left to my own devices, I probably wouldCome on, baby, say goodbyeI could love you, if I tryAnd I couldAnd left to my own devices, I probably wouldLeft to my own devices, I probably wouldOut of bed, at half past tenThe party animal phones a friendPicks up news about the sunAnd the working day has just begunSticks with the gang - at the back of the streetPass the test - and you dont competeDrive the car, if youre with meChe guevaras drinking teaHe reads about a new deviceAnd takes to the stage in a secret life(uuu.....us)Left to my own devices, I probably wouldIf I was left to my own devices, I possibly would(uuu.....us)If I was left to my own devices, I probably wouldLeft to my own devices, I probably wouldI could leave you, say goodbyeOr I could love you, if I tryAnd I couldAnd left to my own devices, I probably wouldLeft to my own devices, I probably wouldCome on, babyLeft to my own devices, I probably would
