Left to My Own Devices (7" Mix|2018 Remaster) - Pet Shop Boys

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 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 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

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

Come on baby

Left to my own devices

I probably would
