Worthless Lie

The Beautiful South

 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!
