The Universal Lyrics - Singles - Small Faces

There's such a lot of good ways to be bad 

And so many bad ways to be good, haven't paid my rent yet 

I tell them "sorry but I haven't got the money anymore" 

Just for today I thought I'd leave home alone, hold hands with day 

And if I'm so bad, why don't they take me away? 

Just like what you hear with a shell pressed to your ear 

That's the sea in the trees in the morning 

Hello, The Universal 

Good morning Steve, well you won't believe me today 

Working doesn't seem to be the perfect thing for me so I'll continue to play 

And if I'm so bad why don't they take me away? 

Well, a hippy-trippy name-dropper came through my door 

He said "I just bumped into Mick he told me you know where to score?" 

No, not me friend, I mind my own and my own minds me 

Well, my love is at the foot of your hand, come what may 

But if June comes first please won't you take me away?
