Beautiful South My Book Lyrics

My Book Lyrics

This is my life and this is how it reads
For every chapter, a thousand
memories
A murder, a mystery where everybody bleeds
A fantasy, a thriller
with romance and disease
Diary entry 9th of May '62
We've had some ugly
babies but none were quite like you
Diary entry '62 end of May
It looks
as if the nose and chin are definiteley here to stay
They're here to stay,
they're here to stay
If my lips start smiling and my knees start
a-knocking
I'm a failure
You are, you are
And if I seem half-hearted,
it's because I'm broken hearted
And I'm a failure
You are, you are, you
are (I am)
You are, you are, you are (I am)
This is my life and this is
how it reads
A documentary that nobody believes
Albert Steptoe in 'Gone
with the Breeze'
Mother played by Peter Beardsley, father by John
Cleese
Diary entry '68 end of the year
A cardboard Apollo 6 has given the
all clear
11th December '68 Captain's log
Proposed trip to Mars is
cancelled due to fog
It's due to fog, it's due to fog
If my lips start
smiling and my knees start a-knocking
I'm a failure
You are, you
are
And if I seem half-hearted, it's because I'm broken hearted
And I'm a
failure
You are, you are, you are (I am)
You are, you are, you are (I
am)
This is the play, it was I who wrote the script
Terry meets June in
'Tales from the Crypt'
It was going to be a film but the camera person
slipped
They later found him scolding a banana
Diary entry 10th of April
'89
The world is going mad but me I'm doing fine
I'm doing fine
Back
to bed, back to reality
Just fine.
