Miserable Lie

So, goodbye

Please stay with your own kind

And I'll stay with mine

There's something against us

It's not time

It's not time

So, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

I know I need hardly say

How much I love your casual way

Oh, but please put your tongue away

A little higher and we're well away

The dark nights are drawing in

And your humour is as black as them

I look at yours, you laugh at mine

And love is just a miserable lie

You have destroyed my flower-like life

Not once, twice

You have corrupt my innocent mind

Not once, twice

I recognize that mystical air

It means, I'd like to seize your underwear

I know the wind-swept mystical air

It means: I'd like to see your underwear

What do we get for our trouble and pain?

Just a rented room in Whalley Range

What do we get for our trouble and pain?

Whalley Range

Into the depths of the criminal world

I followed her

I need advice, I need advice

I need advice, I need advice

Nobody ever looks at me twice

Nobody ever looks at me twice

I'm just a country-mile behind

The world

I'm just a country-mile behind

The whole world

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I'm just a country-mile behind

The world

I'm just a country-mile behind

The whole world

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Take me when you go

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Take me when you go

Oh, oh, oh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I need advice, I need advice
