Left To My Own Devices Lyrics - Introspective - 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 good-bye 

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 Roundhead general 

I could leave you 

say good-bye 

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 good-bye 

or I could love you 

if I try 

and I could 

and left to my own devices 

I probably would 

Come on, baby 

say good-bye 

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 he 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 

(I would if I could) 

Left to my own devices 

I probably would 

If I was left to my own devices 

I possibly would 

(I would if I could) 

If I was left to my own devices 

I probably would 

If I was left to my own devices 

I probably would 

I could leave you 

say good-bye 

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
