[intro sample on you're in a bad way version:]

You asked me to make a record of my voice.

well here it is. what you want me to say is "i love

you." here's the truth. I hate you, you little slut. you make me sick!



When you told me your dream (when you told me your dream) /

I / wanted to cry. /

You almost looked happy (you almost looked happy) /

Please don't tell me / it's true. /

All our neighbours are old (all our neighbours are old) /

Street-lamp buzzes all night. /

There are some nice parts of london,

(there are some nice parts of london) /

You can see them from here

(you can see them from here, you can see them from here.) /



You're / not going to change, /

We're / not moving away. /

We're staying here, (staying here.) /

We're staying here, (staying here.) /



We both work 'til late, /

Catch / the fifty-eight. /

Usually asleep by eleven, (asleep by eleven) /

But somehow it didn't seem right /

When you turned and said (when you turned and said) /

"let's / go mad tonight." /

So we drank and danced; (so we drank and danced) /

For once I felt close to you

(for once I felt close to you, for once I felt close to you.) /



You're / not going to change. /

We're / not moving away. /

We're staying here, (staying here.) /

We're staying here, (staying here.) /

We're staying here, (staying here.) /

We're staying here, (staying here.) /

We're staying here, (staying here.) /

We're staying here, (staying here.) /

We're staying here, (staying here...)
