Pet Shop Boys - Closer To Heaven / Left To My Own Devices lyrics

Never been closer to heaven Never been further away Never been closer to heaven Never been further away 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 Where'd you go Did you loose your way Tell me now you're coming back to stay In my hopes Paradise is real Horoscopes Can't forecast how we'll feel Never been closer to heaven Never been further away Never been closer to heaven Never been further away Give me hope Give me hope Never been closer to heaven Never been further away Never been closer to heaven Never been further away Give me hope Give me hope 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 pa** 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 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 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 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 De'bussy to a disco 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 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 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
