Paul Heaton - Tonight I Fancy Myself lyrics

[Verse 1] She'd brought along the oranges, he'd brought the tea They 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] "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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Later in the evening, the sun came rolling down And they talked about their fantasies and fears Between the heavy breathing and those lighter licking sounds I heard him whisper this question in her ear: [Pre-Chorus 2] "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" [Chorus] [Bridge] The neighbours ask them out but they flatly refuse "We're saving up for a world-wide cruise" With a choice between a loneliness and love-sick QE2's Well, tonight I choose self-abuse [Outro] A four-pack in the fridge, a good book on the shelf I think tonight I'd rather love myself...
