The Universal Songtext
von Small Faces

There′s such a lot of good ways to be bad
And so many bad ways to be good
Haven't paid my rent yet
I hate to tell them sorry, but I haven′t got the money anymore

Just for today I thought I'd leave love alone, hold hands with day
And if I'm so bad, why don′t they take me away?


Just like what you hear with a shell pressed to your ear
That′s the sea and the trees in the morning
Hello there, Universal
Good morning, Steve, well, you won't believe me today

Working doesn′t seem to be the perfect thing for me
So I'll continue to play
And if I′m so bad, why don't they take me away?

Well, a hippie, drippy name dropper came through my door
He said, "I just bumped into Mick, he told me you know where to score"
No, not me, friend
I mind my own and my own minds me

Well, my love is at the foot of your hand, come what may
But if June comes first, please won′t you take me away?
