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 know the wind-swept mystical air

It means : I'd like to see your underwear

I recognise that mystical air

It means : I'd like to seize 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

Oh oh, oh ...

I'm just a country-mile behind

The world

I'm just a country-mile behind

The whole world

Oh oh, oh ...

Take me when you go

Oh oh, oh...

Take me when you go

Oh oh, oh ...

I need advice, I need advice
