Bedsitterland Lyrics - Sayer Leo

Leo Sayer & Frank Farrell 

I'm thinking of taking 

the easy way out 

open the window 

I'll fall to the ground 

I could do it -- wouldn't be much too it 

I gotta little place here in the city 

it's kind of small and dirty, it's a bedsitter 

and there's a lot of us living here 

wall to wall in one big house 

and when the night comes 'round 

I can see a lot of lonely lights 

there are people in there breathing 

but it don't seem right 

in the streets way down below me 

I'm listening for just a sound 

but nobody comes around 

in bedsitterland 

and there's a man below me on the balcony 

crying to be heard 

screaming to be heard 

I'm haunted by his words 

and the people in the street just shrug their shoulders 

saying he's disturbed 

he's in another world 

screaming at the birds 

crying to be heard 

I hear his every word 

I've slept in the gutter on a summer's day 

oh I've bummed cigarettes in the night cafes 

I've joined the breadline 

believe I got a deadline 

I gotta little place here in the city 

it's kind of small and dirty, it's a bedsitter 

and there's a lot of us living here 

wall to wall in one big house 

and when the night comes 'round 

I can see a lot of lonely lights 

there are people in there breathing 

but it don't seem right 

in the streets way down below me 

I'm listening for just a sound 

but nobody comes around 

the lights are going down 

nobody comes around 

in bedsitterland
