Left To My Own Devices Lyrics

  Left to my own devices
  My own devices
  My own devices
  My own devices
  My own devices
  My own devices
  My own devices
  My own devices
  My own devices

  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 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

  Pick up the brochure about the song
  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 ranting(?) general
   
      

  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 Guavara and Debussy to a disco beat
  
  (whole bunch of assorted talking about atoms splitting, etc. )

  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 say say

  (goes into another remix)
