 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 lose 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 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
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
Ohh, 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 Debussy 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
