Leaving It Up To You Lyrics - John Cale

Looking for a friend, looking everywhere 

Walked along the boulevard, the boulevard of friends 

All those mild mannered friends I've got 

They're careless and they fall down 

All over the place, all over town 

I don't want them talking to me

'Cause I'm leaving it, leaving it, leaving it up to you 

Have to leave it, leave it, leave it up to you 

All the buildings are breaking down 

Like the whispering in your heart 

And it's sordid how life goes on 

When I could take you apart 

And if you give me half a chance 

I'd do it now, I'd do it now, right now, you fascist 

I know we could all feel safe like Sharon Tate 

We could give it all up, we could give, give, give it all up 

And the newspapers, oh the newspapers 

They'd be listening, listening to me giving it to you 

And the radio, what about the radios? 

They'd be listening to me giving it to you 

Right mama, damn right mama 

Photos 

I hear hissing, I hear hissing in the distance 

I hear the tanks crawling 

They're crawling over the hill, they're crawling over the hill 

Like rattlesnakes in the desert sun 

They're blistering up my spell, they're blistering it up 

They're breaking it up, they're breaking up my spell 

And what else is there, what else have I got? 

What else have I got but that spell? 

Ah, leaving it, leaving it, I'm leaving it up to you 

Leaving it, leaving it, leaving it up to you 

Leaving it, leaving it, leaving it in the cloakroom for you 

I've got to give it up, I've got to give it up, give it up 

Up, up, give it up 

I can't take it
