It's been ten long years since I've been home
I've been waiting here with nowhere to go
It's an occupation I don't like
But it pays the rent and turns on the light (alright)
I told you so
It has to be
Cut loose and runaway with me
We'll go out every night
I'll be there by your side
And we'll all get high down the old west side
If it ain't the job and it ain't the place
But I must stay for your pretty face
It's a bad reaction I can't fix
You conned me with those feline tricks
And I told you so
It's a crazy world
For a mixed-up guy
And a no-good girl
And I told you so
It's a crazy world
For a mixed-up guy
With a no-good girl
(Take her, take the world)
I told you so
It has to be
Cut loose and run away (run away) with me
We'll go out every night
I'll be there by your side
And we'll all get high down the old west side
Down the old west side
Down the old west side
Down the old west side
(Take the world, yeah) |

Notes
Bernard: “I was on holiday on my boat in the Caribbean, tuning in a shortwave radio into all these mad stations. The beats were fantastic, really interesting. So I recorded some stuff off the radio, and used it as the inspiration for a song. I like it because it starts off with these dancehall beats and then turns into Velvet Underground somewhere in the middle, and I like both of those things.”
Phil: “It’s bonkers, isn’t it?”
