Lyrics The Beautiful South

The Beautiful South

Especially For You

Only buy this if you're lonely

Only listen if you're blue

If you are married and you are happy

This song is not to do with you

If you're listening at your work place

Feeling small amongst the men

Do not sing this to your workmates

This song is not to do with them

But if you're sitting on a barstool

Wondering what on earth to do

Don't let them tell you no-one cares

This songs one especially for you

If you are listening on your radio

Smiling while you drive along

Tune the band into another

Because this song is not your song

If you're working as a DJ

Leave this record in it's sleeve

Cause this ones not for general airplay

This song's for the day she leaves

If you've bought this and you're sinking

And I think that you know who

It matters not the mouth that's singing

This song's one especially for you

So this goes out to the lonely

So this goes out to the sad

And it goes out to the only

One you felt you ever had

If you're there in total darkness

With a letter in your hand

Do not bother with the letter

lust listen to the band

So only buy this if you're lonely
