Lyrics of Big lie small world

I sat down and wrote this letter
Telling you that i felt better
Since you'd gone and i was free
I'm so happy
I have so little time to spare now
I'm wanted almost everywhere now
I make out like casanova
Friends are always coming over
Signed my name as if i meant it
Sealed it with a kiss and sent it
The letter had improved my mood
Happy in my solitude
But halfway home i changed my tune
And when i saw my lonely room
The mirror caught my eye
When i sit down i cry
Big lie small world
Big lie small world
I had to intercept that letter
Telling you that i was better
I raced to catch the postman's van
He was leaving as i ran
I miss the bus i miss the train
I end up walking in the rain
Big dog chased me down the street
I hadn't had a bite to eat
Feeling sorry for myself
Wishing i was someone else
I walked across the city

'cause i couldn't stand your pity
Big lie small world
Big lie small world
The place you live looks opulent
And obviously a higher rent
Than our cozy little room
I had this sense of doom
The landlord says you're out of town
That your new boyfriend's always around
The hour was getting late
So i sit down and wait
Here's the postman with my letter
Coming down the path, he'd better
Give that thing to me
I have to make him see
Begging doesn't do the trick
He thinks that i'm a lunatic
And then who comes upon the scene
But your new boyfriend mr. clean
I hit the postman, hit your lover
Grabbed the letter ran for cover
The police arrived in time for tea
Said they'd like to question me
I can only curse my fate
I have to face the magistrate
It hasn't been the best of days
I'd like to fly away
Big lie small world
Big lie small world
