My Book
Artist:beautiful south
Songs Title:my book
This is my life and this is how it reads
For every chapter, a thousand memories
A murder, a mystery where everybody bleeds
A fantasy, a thriller with romance and disease
Diary entry 9th of may 62
Weve had some ugly babies but none were quite like you
Diary entry 62 end of may
It looks as if the nose and chin are definitely here to stay
Theyre here to stay, theyre here to stay
If my lips start smiling and my knees start a-knocking
Im a failure
You are, you are
And if I seem half-hearted, its because Im broken hearted
And Im a failure
You are, you are, you are (I am)
You are, you are, you are (I am)
This is my life and this is how it reads
A documentary that nobody believes
Albert steptoe in gone with the breeze
Mother played by peter beardsley, father by john cleese
Diary entry 68 end of the year
A cardboard apollo 6 has given the all clear
11th december 68 captains log
Proposed trip to mars is cancelled due to fog
Its due to fog, its due to fog
If my lips start smiling and my knees start a-knocking
Im a failure
You are, you are
And if I seem half-hearted, its because Im broken hearted
And Im a failure
You are, you are, you are (I am)
You are, you are, you are (I am)
This is the play, it was I who wrote the script
Terry meets june in tales from the crypt
It was going to be a film but the camera person slipped
They later found him scolding a banana
Diary entry 10th of april 89
The world is going mad but me Im doing fine
Im doing fine
Back to bed, back to reality
Just fine.
