It`s been a bloody stupid day
My baby called me up to say
Don`t call me love, don`t call me
It`s not all she said
I truly love her but I know
I`m bad for her, I`m bad and so
At least she may forgive me for my honesty
My friend came back from being abroad
He was rich and I was overawed
His ship came in
I`m standing on the harbour wall
Another friend, the one I love
Turns to me "Have you seen enough?"
"Let`s hang about
There`s nothing like a sunset"
It`s been a bloody stupid day
Don`t leave the light on baby
My baby called me up to say
Don`t leave the light on baby
I`ll see you sometime maybe
Don`t leave the light on baby
It finally dawned on me tonight
Best to go down without a fight
I know you will forgive me for my honesty
