The Universal

 

There's sucha lot of good ways to be bad
And so manybad ways to be good;
Haven't paidmy rent yet --
I tell themSorry, but I haven't got the money anymore.

Just forToday I thought I'd leave Home alone, 
Hold handswith Day --
And if I'm sobad, why don't they take me away?

Just likewhat You hear 
With a Shellpressed to your Ear,
That's theSea in the Trees in the Morning:

'Hello theUniversal!'
'Goodmorning Steve, Well you won't believe me today.'

Workingdoesn't seem to be the Perfect Thing for me,
So I'llcontinue to play.
And if I'm sobad, Why don't they take me away?

A hippy-trippy name dropper came through my door, 

Hesaid: 

'I justbumped into Mick --  he told me you know where to score?'


'No, not mefriend.  I mind my Own and my own minds Me.' 

 
Well my Loveis at the Foot of your Hand  -- 

Come What May:

But if Junecomes first, Please won't you take me Away?
