Okay, let's rock
ย
I get out of bed at half past ten
I 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
I could love you if I tried
And I could
And left to my own devices, I probably would
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 round-head general
I could leave you, say goodbye
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
Oh, I would
ย
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 Guevara and Debussy to a disco beat
This is the rhythm of the night, the night, oh yeah
The rhythm of the night
This is the rhythm of my life, my life, oh yeah
The rhythm of my life
This is the rhythm of the night, one night, oh yeah
The rhythm of the night
This is the rhythm of my life, one life, oh yeah
The rhythm of my life
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 foods
Maybe I'll sit up all night and day
Waiting for the minute I hear you say
ย
I could leave you, say goodbye
I could love you if I tried
And I could
And left to my own devices, I probably would
Come on, baby, say goodbye
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
ย
Thank you!
You're absolutely fabulous
(We love you)
