Punctured bicycle

on a hillside desolate

will Nature make a man of me yet?

then in this charming car

this charming man

why pamper life’s complexities

when the leather runs smooth

on the passenger seat?

I would go out tonight

but I haven’t got a stitch to wear

this man said "it’s gruesome

that someone so handsome should care"

a jumped-up pantry boy

who never knew his place

he said "return the ring"

(he knows so much about these things)

The rain falls hard on a humdrum town

This town has dragged you down

Oh, the rain falls hard on a humdrum town

This town has dragged you down

And everybody’s got to live their life

And God knows I’ve got to live mine

God knows I’ve got to live mine

William, William it was really nothing

William, William it was really nothing

How can you stay with a fat girl who’ll say:

"Would you like to marry me

and if you like you can buy the ring"

she doesn’t care about anything

would you like to marry me

and if you like you can buy the ring

I don’ dream about anyone

William, William it was really nothing

William, William.

All men have secrets and here is mine so let it be known

We have been through hell and high tide

I think I can rely on you

And yet you start to recoil

Heavy words are so lightly thrown

But still I’d leap in front of a flying bullet for you

So what difference does it make?

So what difference does it make?

It makes none, but you have gone

and you must be looking very old tonight

The devil will find work for idle hands to do

I stole and I lied, and why? Because you asked me to

But now you made me to feel so ashamed

Because I’ve only got two hands

Well, I’m still fond of you

So what difference does it make?

So what difference does it make?

It makes none, but you have gone

And your prejudices won’t keep you warm tonight

Oh the devil will find work for idle hands to do

I stole and I lied just because you asked me to

But now you know the truth about me

You won’t see me anymore

Well, I’m still fond of you

But no more apologies

No more, no more apologies

I’m too tired, I’m so sick and tired

And I’m feeling very sick and ill today

But I’m still fond of you

Stop me, stop

Stop me if you think that you’ve

Heard this one before

Stop me, stop me

Stop me if you think that you’ve

Heard this one before

Nothing’s changed

I still love you, oh I still love you

… only slightly less than I use to

I was delayed, I was way-laid

An emergency stop

I smelt the last ten seconds of life

I crashed down on the crossbar

And the pain was enough to make

A shy, bald buddhist reflect

And plan a mass-murder

Who said I’d lied to her?

Who said I’d lied because I never

Who said I’d lied because I never

I was detained, I was restrained

He broke my spleen

He broke my knees

(and then he really laid into me)

Friday night in Out-patients

Who said I’d lied to her?

Who said I’d lied - because I never

Who said I’d lied - because I never

Oh, so I drank one

Or was it four

And when I fell on the floor…

… I drank more

Stop me, stop me

Stop me if you think that you’ve

Heard this one before

Nothing’s changed

I still love you

I still love you

But only slightly

less than I use to

Girlfriend in a coma, I know

I know – it’s serious

Girlfriend in a coma, I know

I know – it’s really serious

There were times when I could

Have ‘murdered’ her
