Use A− / A+ to adjust text sizeBig Lie Small World
I sat down and wrote this letterTelling you that I felt betterSince you’d gone and I was freeI’m so happyI have so little time to spare nowI’m wanted almost everywhere nowI make out like CasanovaFriends are always coming overI signed my name as if I meant itSealed it with a kiss and sent itThe letter had improved my moodHappy in my solitudeBut halfway home I changed my tuneAnd when I saw my lonely roomThe mirror caught my eyeWhen I sit down I cryBig lie, small worldBig lie, small worldI had to intercept that letterTelling you that I was betterI raced to catch the postman’s vanHe was leaving as I ranI miss the bus I miss the trainI end up walking in the rainBig dog chased me down the streetI hadn't had a bite to eatFeeling sorry for myselfWishing I was someone elseI walked across the city'Cause I couldn’t stand your pityBig lie, small worldBig lie, small worldThe place you live looks opulentAnd obviously a higher rentThan our cosy little roomI had this sense of doomThe landlord says you’re out of townThat your new boyfriend’s always aroundThe hour was getting lateSo I sit down and waitHere’s the postman with my letterComing down the path, he’d betterGive that thing to meI have to make him seeBegging doesn’t do the trickHe thinks that I’m a lunaticAnd then who comes upon the sceneBut your new boyfriend Mr. CleanI hit the postman, hit your loverGrabbed the letter ran for coverThe police arrived in time for teaSaid they’d like to question meI can only curse my fateI have to face the magistrateIt hasn’t been the best of daysI’d like to fly awayBig lie, small worldBig lie, small world
