Beautiful South Tonight I Fancy Myself
She'd brought along the oranges He'd brought the tea They'd both brought along a sick-bag just in case The plate of chicken sandwiches Were lovely they agreed And I watched him spit the bits into her face 'Do you love me like you used to' he sighs 'I love you twice as much' she replies They were on the train to Venice, where else? I think tonight I fancy myself I'd rather drink that toast to my own health I think tonight I'd rather love myself And if you drink that drink to your own health I think tonight I'd rather love myself Later in the evening The sun came rolling down And they talked about their fantasies and fears Between the heacy breathing And those lighter licking sounds I heard him whisper this question in her ear 'Would you still love me if I lost my legs?' 'I'd see that you were loved and you were fed' 'I end up in a car crash almost dead' 'For richer and for partly severed head' I'd rather drink that toast to my own health I think tonight I'd rather love myself And if you drink that drink to your own health I think tonight I'd rather love myself The neighbours ask them out but they flatly refuse 'We're saving up for a world-wide cruise' With a choice between loneliness and love-sick QE2's Well tonight I choose - self-abuse A four-pack in the fridge A good book on the shelf I think tonight I'd rather love myself
