left to my own devices (live at the royal opera house, 2018) - pet shop boys lyrics
[spoken intro]
ok, we’re going to do another old song– but in a new version
[verse 1]
i get out of bed at half past ten
and 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 p-ss 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
[chorus]
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
[verse 2]
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
[chorus]
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
yes i would
oh, i would
[bridge]
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
ché guevara and debussy to a disco beat
[verse 3]
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
[chorus]
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
or i could love you, if i tried
and i could
and left to my own devices, i probably would
left to my own devices, i probably would
come on, baby
oh, i would
yes i would
left to my own devices, i probably would
[spoken outro]
the super dancers!
