Left to My Own Devices

Pet Shop Boys · Discography - Complete Singles Collection · Song · 1998

"🎶 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 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 🎶" FYI: I don't wanna disappoint your expectation, but the secret life in the lyrics means when Neil Tennant was in the closet, and I, the love absolutist, don't SELL my eggs.
