Beautiful South The Tonight I Fancy Myself Lyrics

Tonight I Fancy Myself Lyrics

(heaton/rotheray)

 She'd brought along the oranges

 He'd brought the tea

 They'd both brought along a sick-bag just in case

 

 The plate of chicken sandwiches

 Were lovely they agreed

 And i watched him spit the bits into her face

 

 'do you love me like you used to' he sighs

 'i love you twice as much' she replies

 They were on the train to venice, where else?

 I think tonight i fancy myself

 

 I'd rather drink that toast to my own health

 I think tonight i'd rather love myself

 And if you drink that drink to your own health

 I think tonight i'd rather love myself

 

 Later in the evening

 The sun came rolling down

 And they talked about their fantasies and fears

 

 Between the heavy breathing

 And those lighter licking sounds

 I heard him whisper this question in her ear

 

 'would you still love me if i lost my legs?'

 'i'd see that you were loved and you were fed'

 'i end up in a car crash almost dead'

 'for richer and for partly severed head'

 

 I'd rather drink that toast to my own health

 I think tonight i'd rather love myself

 And if you drink that drink to your own health

 I think tonight i'd rather love myself

 

 The neighbours ask them out but they flatly refuse

 'we're saving up for a world-wide cruise'

 With a choice between loneliness and love-sick qe2's

 Well tonight i choose - self-abuse

 

 A four-pack in the fridge

 A good book on the shelf

 I think tonight i'd rather love myself
