Give me hope
Give me all your love
Tell me now
You're coming home tonight
Have some faith
In the love we share
Is it fate?
Does darkness end in light?
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away
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 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 tried
And I could
And left to my own devices, I probably was
Left to my own devices, I probably was
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 goodbye
Or I could love you
If I tried
And I could
And left to my own devices, I probably was
Left to my own devices, I probably was
Oh, I would
Che Guevara to a disco beat, or Debussy (Heart-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 in 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 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
Left to my own devices, I probably would
Give me all your love
Tell me now
You're coming home tonight
Have some faith
In the love we share
Is it fate?
Does darkness end in light?
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away
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 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 tried

And left to my own devices, I probably was
Left to my own devices, I probably was
