I can do it without you

None of the buildings even look the same
And underneath them all the shops have changed
Over the town there are a lot more cranes
Stacking blocks for young professionals to stay in

I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you

On returning to the North again
Everybody has to talk on the train
And if you've got nothing that's clever to say
Nobody's listening to you anyway

I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you
But it wouldn't be very good.

What you wanted
Doesn't matter
I don't think that it can be done without you
What you're doing
Doesn't matter
When everything that's done is all about you
It's going on without you
It's more or less about you
It's going on without you

While we convince each other nothing has changed
Nobody else will ever act the same
The adaptation for the stage is now playing
For your protection all the names have been changed

I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you
But it wouldn't be very good
