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 continue to play
And if I'm so bad
Why don′t they take me away?

Well, a hippy trippy 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 doom comes first
Please won't you take me away?
