My Book Lyrics

    (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.
