the beautiful south
worthless lie
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!
