My Book Lyrics - Beautiful South

(Heaton/Rotheray) 

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 

We've 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 

They're here to stay, they're here to stay 

If my lips start smiling and my knees start a-knocking 

I'm a failure 

You are, you are 

And if I seem half-hearted, it's because I'm broken hearted 

And I'm 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

Diary entry '68 end of the year 

A cardboard Apollo 6 has given the all clear 

11th December '68 Captain's log 

Proposed trip to Mars is cancelled due to fog 

It's due to fog, it's due to fog 

If my lips start smiling and my knees start a-knocking 

I'm a failure 

You are, you are 

And if I seem half-hearted, it's because I'm broken hearted 

And I'm 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 I'm doing fine 

I'm doing fine 

Back to bed, back to reality 

Just fine.
