Worthless Lie Lyrics
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!

Top that. Go on, do it if you can.
The man deserves some sort of medal.
@ShineYouDiamond this whole song is full of beauties, for me,

kills it, most brilliant way to end a song. still sends shivers through my spine

my favourite Beautiful South Song, about being with the wrong person and hoping you'll end up with the right one at some point. Paul heaton is a great lyricist, and yes he should get a medal of some sort.
