You don't need a lover in this climate
You don't need a boyfriend in your bed
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 "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, pull a blanket round you babe
