I'll take you to the cinema
And leave you in a Wimpy Bar
You tell me that we've gone too far
Come running up to me
Make the scene at Cousin Jack's
Leave him put the bottles back
Mends his glasses that I cracked
Well, that one's up to me
Oh, it's up to me!
I'll buy a silver cloud to ride
Back the tennis club inside
Trouser cuffs hung far too wide
Well, it was up to me
Tyres down on your bycicle
Your nose feels like an icicle
The yellow fingered smoky girl
Is looking up to me
Oh, you know, it's up to me!
Well, I'm a common working man
With a half of bitter bread and jam
And if it pleases me I'll put one on you, man
When the copper fades away
The rainy season comes to pass
The day-glo pirate sinks at last
And if I laughed a bit too fast
Well, it was up to me
