Bedsitter Songtext
von Soft Cell

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 know it′s pretty early
But you still look great

Just ready for the beauty that the makeup 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 night life over again

Sunday morning going slow
I′m talking to the radio
Clothes and records on the floor
The memories of the night before
Out in club land having fun
And now I'm hiding from the sun
Waiting for a visitor
Though no one knows I′m here for sure

I think it's time to cook a meal
To fill the emptiness I feel
Spend my money going out
I′ve nothing in I'm left without
Clean my teeth and comb my hair
And look for something new to wear
And start the night life over again
And kid myself I′m having fun


I look out from my window view
There's really nothing else to do
Read a book, 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
Dancing, laughing, drinking, loving

And now I'm all alone in bedsitter land
My only home
Dancing, laughing, I′m drinking, loving
(I′m waiting for something, I'm only passing time)
And now I′m all alone in bedsitter land
My only home
I'm dancing, laughing, I′m drinking, loving
(I'm waiting for something, I′m only passing time)

I'm waiting for something
I'm only passing time
And now I′m all alone and
I don′t care and
I don't care and

I′m waiting for something
I'm only passing time
And now I′m all alone and
I don't care and
I don′t care 'cause
I don't care
(I′m waiting for something, I′m only passing time)

Bedsitter, bedsitter
And now I'm all alone and
I don′t care and
I don't care and
I don′t care and
I don't care and
I don′t care

(I'm only passing time)
Bedsitter, bedsitter, bedsitter, bedsitter
Bedsitter, bedsitter, bedsitter, bedsitter
Dancing, laughing, drinking, loving

Dancing, laughing, drinking, loving
Bedsitter
