Kevin Ayers
"I Don't Depend on You"

Radio's playing the blues
Somebody's making the news
And I'm rolling along
In the way that I do saying
I don't depend on you.

Hearing the words that you say
Watching you walking away
Telling myself I'm just feeling blue and
I don't depend on you.

Now you're over there
All alone in your chair
While I'm over here drinking wine
And I'm asking the sky
Won't you please tell me why
That woman could never be mine.

It's getting late by now
I've got to keep moving somehow
Telling myself I'm just feeling blue and
I don't depend on you.
