Left to My Own Devices (7'' Version)

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 shoppingOne day I'll read, or learn to drive a car

If you pass 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 animalI 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 wouldPick 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 belongI 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 generalI 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 wouldI 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 beatIt'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 fightTurn 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 sayI 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 wouldOut of bed, at half past ten

The party animal phones a friend

Picks up news about the sun

And the working day has just begunSticks with the gang - at the back of the street

Pass the test - and don't competeDrive 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(Aaaaaaaah... ...ce)Left to my own devices, I probably would

If I was left to my own devices, I possibly would(Aaaaaaaah... ...ce)If I was left to my own devices, I probably would

Left to my own devices, I probably wouldI 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
