Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take you to the cinema
And leave you in a Wimpy bar
You tell me that we've gone to far
Come running up to me
[Verse 2]
Make the scene at Cousin Jack's
Leave him put the bottles back
Mends his glasses that I cracked
Well, that's one up to me, hey
[Verse 3]
Whoa, it's up to me, yeah, hey
Up to me
[Verse 4]
I buy a silver cloud to ride
Pack the tennis club inside
Trouser cuffs hung far too wide
Well, it was up to me
[Verse 5]
Tires down on your bicycle
Your nose feels like an icicle
The yellow fingered smoky girl
Is looking up to me, hey
[Verse 6]
Whoa, you know it's up to me, yeah, hey
[Verse 7]
Well, I'm a common working man
Oh, with a half of bitter, bread and jam
And if it pleases me, I'll put one on you man
When the copper fades away, hey
[Verse 8]
Whoa oh, it's up to me, yeah, ow
Whoa, you said it's up to me, yeah
[Verse 9]
The rainy season comes to pass
The day-glo pirate sinks at last
And if I laughed a bit to fast
Well, it was up to me
[Verse 10]
Take you to the cinema
And leave you in a Wimpy bar
You tell me that we've gone to far
Come running up to me, hey
[Verse 11]
Whoa, you know it's up to me, yeah, hey
Said it's up to me, yeah
