My Book — текст песни (The 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
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 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.
