The Patience of a Saint

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant] Talking of my attributes The things I do so well As anyone who's in cahoots With me will readily tell I've lived up here, I've been down there I've bought so I could sell And if I drove a faster car I'd drive it bloody well How could I change? I live without restraint [Chorus: Neil Tennant] And I would try the patience of a saint And I would try the patience of a saint [Verse 2: Bernard Sumner] Thinking of my attitudes Talking one on one I may disagree with you But look where you've come from And all that you've got I thought that I would faint [Chorus: Bernard Sumner] But I would try the patience of a saint And I would try the patience of a saint I would try the patience of a saint [Bridge: Neil Tennant & Bernard Sumner] I'm talking to myself (I'm talking to myself) Talking to myself I'm talking to the one that I know best I'm talking to the one that I know best [Verse 3: Neil Tennant & Bernard Sumner] Bury me with gratitude You can go to hell Why should I care? I'd rather watch drying paint [Chorus: Neil Tennant & Bernard Sumner] But I would try the patience of a saint And I would try the patience of a saint I would try the patience of a saint And I would try the patience Of a saint
