These Days

You don't need a lover in this climate
You don't need a boyfriend in your bed
These days, these days
Pull a blanket round you, baby

If you're looking for an early grave
Mr Anderton will lead you to it
He says, he says
Pull a blanket round you, baby

Some have said
I'd go now rather than wait
Just to sit and watch my days slip away
So surely

You don't need a lover in this climate
You don't need a boyfriend in your bed
These days, these days
Pull a blanket round you, babe
