"Bedsitter (12 Extended Version)" lyrics - SOFT CELL
Sunday morning going slow
I'm talking to the radio
Clothes and records on the floor
The memories of the night before
Out in club land having fun
And now I'm hiding from the sun
Waiting for a visitor
Though no-one knows I'm here for sure
Dancing laughing
Drinking loving
And now I'm all alone
In bedsit land
My only home
I think it's time to cook a meal
To fill the emptiness I feel
Spend my money going out
I've nothing in I'm left without
Clean my teeth and comb my hair
And look for something new to wear
And start the night life over again
And kid myself I'm having fun
Dancing laughing
Drinking loving
And now I'm all alone
In bedsit land
My only home
I look out from my window view
There's really nothing else to do
Read a book maybe write a letter
Mother things are getting better
Watch the mirror count the lines
The battle scars of all the good times
Look around and I can see
A thousand people just like me
Dancing laughing
Drinking loving
And now I'm all alone
In bedsit land
My only home
Dancing laughing
Drinking loving (I'm only having fun)
And now I'm all alone
In bedsit land
My only home
Dancing, laughing
I'm drinking, loving (I'm only having fun)
Do you look a mess
Do you have a hangover
Did you over do the lemonade
Cut short on the soda
Did you do that dance
The doctor told you that you shouldn't do
But you're only young
You should do that dance twice over
I know it's pretty early
But you still look great
Just ready for the beauty
That the make-up will create
Take a little blusher
Take a little paint
Put on the silver dress
The one that makes the young boys faint
I'm sitting on my bed
And I'm looking at the time
Have a cup of coffee
And you're feeling fine
Put on that new record
That you bought the other day
The words'll make you smile
You can dance the dust away
Make your single bed
And push the tea leaves down the drain
Take a long deep breathe
And start the nightlife over again
Dancing
Laughing
Drinking
Loving
Dancing Laughing
I'm waiting for something
I'm only passing time
And now I'm all alone
And I don't care
And I don't care
And I'm waiting for something
I'm only passing time
And now I'm all alone
And I don't care
And I don't care
'Cause I'm waiting for something
I'm only passing time
And now I'm all alone
And I don't care
And I don't care
And I don't care
And I don't care
I'm only passing time
And I don't care (no)
And I don't care (no)
I'm only passing time
