But in the back of my head I heard distant feet Ché Guevara and Debussy to a disco beat [Verse 5: Neil Tennant] 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 [Verse 6: Neil Tennant] 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: Neil Tennant] 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 try 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 [Interlude] [Verse 7: Neil Tennant] Out of bed at half past ten The party animal phones a friend Picks up news about the sun And the working day has just begun [Interlude] [Verse 8: Neil Tennant] Sticks with the gang at the back of the street Pass the test and you don't compete [Verse 9: Neil Tennant] Drive the car if you're with me Ché Guevara's drinking tea He reads about a new device And takes to the stage in a secret life [Interlude] [Chorus: Neil Tennant] Left to my own devices, I probably would If I was left to my own devices, I possibly would If I was left to my own devices, I probably would If I was left to my own devices, I probably would [Chorus: Neil Tennant] 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 [Outro: Neil Tennant] Come on, baby Left to my own devices, I probably would #petshopboys #Lefttomyowndevices
