Let’s go for a walk, let’s go out and have fun
Let’s shoot our rayguns
Let’s swallow spacedust as fast as we can
Let’s stay up ‘till dawn, let’s go out and disco
Go where the kids go
Let’s draw us in dust on old caravans
But you won’t do
The things I’d like you to
Though you know deep inside that if you just tried
You’d like them too
And you won’t be
The way I’d like you to be
Though I know deep inside that if you just tried
You’d still succeed
Be my Lenny
You say "read a book", you’d say "watch the telly"
You say "it’s Wednesday
That means it’s Radcliffe on Radio 1"
You say "time for bed", you say "time for lights off"
You say "please don’t cough
It’s getting late and you’re up before dawn"
But I won’t do
The things you’d like me to
Though I know deep inside that if I just tried
I’d like them too
And I won’t be
The way you’d like me to be
Though you know deep inside that if I just tried
I’d still succeed
Be your Lenny
I’m going out, all on my own
You never come, staying at home
What’s the point in going on this way?
What you love is just what I hate
You’re staying in, all on your own
That’s not my way, I have to go!
But we’ve got what it takes, you see
I still love you, you still love me
But I won’t do
The things you’d like me to
Though I know deep inside that if I just tried
I’d like them too
And you won’t be
The way I’d like you to be
Though I know deep inside that if you’d just tried
You’d still succeed
Be my Lenny
