Lyrics The Divine Comedy

The Divine Comedy

If I Were You (i'd Be Through With Me)

If I were you I'd look at me

And fail to see the things I see in you

If I were you and if I were you

I wouldn't let the shit you get

From me get the better of you

If I were you

Don't you ever wonder why

I could never make you cry?

Well, if I were you I'd ride away

To a pasture new where I could graze

On the grass so succulent and sweet

If I were you

I'd be through with me

If I were you I wouldn't need

To always read the magazines that I do

Huh, they make me blue!

So if I were you I'd make the break

Before I take my frustrations out on you

Just break on through

Don't you ever, in your dreams

Take a lover and make her scream?

Well, if I were you I'd ride away

To a pasture new where I could graze

On the grass so succulent and sweet

If I were you

I'd be through with me

Well, if I were you I'd ride away

To a pasture new where I could graze

On the green, green grass

Of virgin country

I'd live real fast and die real young

You see if I were you I'd end my days

In a field of stupid sheep just grazing

The grass so succulent and sweet

If I were you

I'd be through with me
