Beautiful South The Worthless Lie Lyrics

Worthless Lie Lyrics

(heaton/rotheray)

 The sheets won't need changing everyday

 The freezer supply should last a year

 Those hidden little points that you're away

 Nothing much has changed since you were here

 

 Our paths will cross some day

 Our paths will cross some day

 While you're out jogging and i'm sat snogging

 Some fool on a lakeside bench

 

 And when she calls i hope it's you that dials

 I hope it's you that feels this love inside

 And when i touch her i hope it's you that smiles

 And when i die i hope it's you i'm beside

 To die with her would be a worthless lie

 To die with her would be a worthless die

 To die together would be worth a try

 To die together would be worth a try

 

 The family pack seems larger than it should

 Two for one's no good when there's just one

 I'd raise a bigger smile if i could

 But me minus you equals none

 

 Our paths will cross some day

 Our paths will cross some day

 When you're out fishing and i'm sat wishing

 

 You instead of him

 Our paths will cross some day

 Our paths will cross some day

 When you're out exercising and i'm there prising

 The pants of i my latest sin

 

 And when we kiss she knows it's you i kiss

 'cause when we kiss i always start to cry

 You just can't cover up these lying lips

 When i die i hope it's you i'm beside

 To die with her would be a worthless lie

 To die with her would be a worthless die

 To die together would be worth a try

 To die together would be worth a try

 

 An ambulance flashed past me in the street

 Just yards from where we were to meet

 I was half hoping you were dead meat

 That it was you that was under the sheet

 

 And as you lay there alone in the ward

 Fumbling for the keys to death's door

 At least i'd have summoned up the nerve

 To whisper you these words

 

 Finally! quietly! actually!

 I love you!
