It's been a bloody stupid day

My baby called me up to say

Don't call me love, don't call me

It's not all she said



I truly love her but I know

I'm bad for her, I'm bad and so

At least she may forgive me for my honesty



My friend came back from being abroad

He was rich and I was overawed

His ship came in

I'm standing on the harbour wall



Another friend, the one I love

Turns to me 'Have you seen enough?'

'Let's hang about

There's nothing like a sunset'



It's been a bloody stupid day

Don't leave the light on baby

My baby called me up to say

Don't leave the light on baby

I'll see you sometime maybe

Don't leave the light on baby

It finally dawned on me tonight

Best to go down without a fight

I know you will forgive me for my honesty
