Bedsitter (Extended) - Soft Cell

Sunday morning going slow

I'm talking to the radio

Clothes and record on the floor

Memories of the night before

Out in clubland having fun

And now I'm hiding from the sun

Waiting for a visitor

Though no-one knows I'm here for sure

Chorus:

Dancing laughing

Drinking loving

And now I'm all alone

In bedsit land

My only home

I think it's time to cook a meal

To fill the emptiness I feel

Spent my money going out

I've nothing I'm left without

Clean my teeth and comb my hair

Look for something new to wear

Start the nightlife over again

Kid myself I'm having fun

Chorus

I look out from my window view

There's really nothing else to do

Read a book maybe write a letter

Mother, things are getting better

Watch the mirror count the lines

The battle scars of all the good times

Look around and I can see

A thousand people just like me

Chorus

I'm waiting for something

I'm only passing time

[For purchasers of the 7" version, the song stops here. For purchasers of

the 12" version, there are the additional lines:]

Do you look a mess?

Do you have a hangover?

Did you overdo the lemonade

Cut short on the soda?

Did you do that dance the doctor

Told you that you shouldn't do?

But you're only young

You should do that dance twice over

I knew it's pretty early

But you still look great

Just ready for the beauty

That the make up will create

Take a little blusher

Take a little paint

Put on the silver dress

The one that makes the young boys faint

I'm sitting on my bed

And I'm looking at the time

Have a cup of coffee

And you're feeling fine

Put on that new record

That you bought the other day

The words will make you smile

You can dance the dust away

Make your single bed

And push the tea leaves down the drain

Take a long deep breath

And start the nightlife over again

I'm waiting for someone

I'm only passing time

And now I'm all alone

And I don't care

And I don't care

Bedsitter

Bedsitter

And I don't care

I don't care

Bedsitter

Bedsitter
