The Beautiful South
Worthless Lie
[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
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 a worth a try
To die together would be worth a try

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Our paths will cross some day
Our paths will cross some day
When you're out fishing and I'm sat wishing
You, you instead of him

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Our paths will cross some day
Our paths will cross some day
When you're out excercising and I'm there prising
Tha pants off my latest sin

[Chorus 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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
[Bridge]
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...'

[Outro] x6
La la la, la-la la, la la-la la
La la la la la, la-la la la
