(Uuu.....us) 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 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 Out of bed, at half past ten The party animal phones a friend Picks up news about the sun And the working day has just begun Sticks with the gang - at the back of the street Pass the test - and you don't compete Drive 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 (Uuu.....us) Left to my own devices, I probably would If I was left to my own devices, I possibly would (Uuu.....us) If I was left to my own devices, I probably would Left to my own devices, I probably would 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 Come on, baby Left to my own devices, I probably would

(All day, all day) I don't know why, I don't know how I thought I loved you, but I'm not sure now I've seen you look at strangers too many times A love-you-once is of a, a different kind Remember when we felt the sun A love like paradise, how hot it burned A threat of distant thunder, the sky was red And when you walked, you always - turned every head (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down (All day, all day) Domino dancing (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down (All day, all day) Domino dancing I thought that when we fought I was to blame But now I know you play a different game I've watched you dance with danger, still wanting more Add another number to the score (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down (All day, all day) Domino dancing (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down (All day, all day) Domino dancing When you look around you wonder Do you play to win? Or are you just a bad loser? (All day, all day) (All day, all day) (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down (All day, all day, domino dancing) (All day, all day) (All day, all day) I don't know why, I don't know how I'd thought I loved you, but I'm not sure now I hear the thunder crashing, the sky is dark And now a storm is breaking within my heart (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down (All day, all day) Domino dancing (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down (All day, all day, domino dancing) (All day, all daeheheheheheheh) (All day, all daeheheheheheheh) (All day, all day) (All day, all day) (Domino dancing) (All day, all day) (All day, all day) (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down (All day, all day, domino dancing) (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down (All day, all day) Domino dancing (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down (All day, all day)
