I Spy

I spy a boy / I spy a girl / I spy the worst place / in the world / In the whole wide world / Oh, you didn't do bad / you made it out / I'm still stuck here / Oh, but I'll get out / Oh yeah, I'll get out / Can't you see a giant walks among you seeing through your petty lives? / Do you think I do these things for real? I do these things just so I survive / And you know I will survive / It may look to the untrained eye / I'm sitting on my arse all day / I'm biding time until I take you all on / My Lords and Ladies / I will prevail / I cannot fail / `Cause I spy / Oh I've got your number, taken notes, I know the way your minds work; I have studied / And your minds are just the same as mine except that you are clever swines; you never let your mask slip / You never admit to it, you're never hurried / Oh no, no, no / And every night I hone my plan / how I will get my satisfaction / how I will blow your paradise away / Away / Away / `Cause I spy / It's just like in the old days / I used to compose me own critical notices in my head / "The crowd gasp at Cocker's masterful control of the bicycle / skillfully avoiding the dog turd outside the corner shop." / Imagining a blue plaque / above the first place I ever touched a girl's chest / But hold on / you've got to wait / for the best / You see you should take me seriously / very seriously indeed / `Cause I've been sleeping with your wife for the past sixteen weeks / Smoking your cigarettes / drinking your brandy / messing up the bed that you chose together / And all that time / I just wanted you to come home unexpectedly one afternoon / and catch us at it / in the front room / You see, I spy / for a living / and I specialise / in revenge / on taking the things / I know will cause you pain / I can't help it: / I was dragged up / My favourite parks are car parks / Grass is something you smoke / Birds are something you shag / Take your Year In Provence / and shove it / up your arse / Your Ladbroke Grove looks turn me on, yeah / With roach burns in designer dresses / skin stretched tight over high cheek-bones / and thousands of tiny dryness lines / beating a path to the corners of your eyes / And every night I hatch my plan / it's not a case of woman v man / it's more a case of haves against haven'ts / and I just happen / to have got what you need / just exactly what you need, yeah / La la lala la la la la lala / In the midnight hour / La la lala la la la la lala / I will come to you / I will come to you / I will take you from this sickness / Dinner parties and champagne / I'll hold your body / and make it sing again / Come on, sing again / let's sing again / Oh yeah / `Cause I spy / I spy / I spy a boy / I spy a girl / I spy a chance / to change the world / To change your world.
