Worthless lie (Heaton/Rotheray)

 

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!
