Big Lie, Small World Lyrics - Brand New Day - Sting

Big Lie, Small World" 

I sat down and wrote this letter 

Telling you that I felt better 

Since you've gone and I was free 

I'm so happy 

I have so little time to spare now 

I'm wanted almost everywhere now 

I make out like Casanova 

Friends are always coming over 

I signed my name as if I meant it 

And sealed it with a kiss and sent it 

The letter headed through my mood 

Happy in my solitude

But halfway home I changed my tune 

And when I saw my lonely room 

The mirror caught my eye 

When I sat down, I cried 

Big lie, small world 

It was a big lie, small world 

I had to intercept that letter 

Telling you that I was better 

I raced to catch the postman's van 

He was leaving as I ran 

I missed the bus, I missed the train 

I end up walking in the rain 

Big dog chased me down the street 

Hadn't had a bite to eat 

Feeling sorry for myself 

And wishing I was someone else 

I walked across the city 

Because I couldn't stand your pity

Big lie, small world 

It was a big lie, small world 

The place you live looks opulent 

And obviously a higher rent 

Than a cozy little room 

I had this sense of doom 

Your landlord says you're out of town 

But your new boyfriend's always around 

The hour was getting late 

So I sit down and wait 

Here's the postman with my letter 

Coming down the path he better 

Give that thing to me 

I have to make him see 

Begging doesn't do the trick 

He thinks that I'm a lunatic 

But then who comes upon the scene 

But your new boyfriend, Mr. Clean 

I hit the postman, hit your lover 

Grabbed the letter, ran for cover 

The police arrived in time for tea 

They said they'd like to question me 

But I can only curse my fate 

I had to face the magistrate 

It hasn't been the best of days 

I'd like to fly away 

Big lie, small world 

Big lie, small world 

It was a big lie, small world 

Big lie, small world
