I spy a boy, I spy a girl.
|
I spy the worst place in the world, in the whole 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 walks among you seeing through your pretty 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
|
And I'm biding my 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 numbers taken notes and all the ways your minds work out.
|
I've studied and your mind's just the same as mine except that you're just clever swines
|
You never let masks slip, you never admit to it, you're never hurried.
|
Oh no no no.
|
And every night I hold my plan how I'll get my satisfaction
|
How I will blow your paradise away away away ooh.
|
Cause I spy.
|
It's just like in the old days - I used to compose my own critical notices in my head.
|
The crowd gasps at Cocker's masterful control of the bicycle
|
Skilfully avoiding the dog turd next to the corner shop.
|
Imagining a blue plaque above the place I first ever felt a girl's breasts,
|
the whole 'nana.
|
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 you chose together.
|
And in 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 park's a car park, grass is something you smoke,
|
birds is something you shag.
|
Take your year in Provence and shove it right up your arse.
|
Your Ladbroke Grove looks turn me on, yeah.
|
With your frightened eyes and roach burns under your eyes and addresses
|
And thousands of tiny dryna-slides running a path,
|
running a path to the corner 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 la la la la la la la la, in the midnight hour.
|
La la la la la la la la la la, 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, yes, I spy, ssss.
|
I spy a boy and I spy a girl.
|
I spy the chance to change the world, to change your world.
