The Jam - The Bitterest Pill (I Ever Had to Swallow) lyrics

In your white lace and your wedding bells You look the picture of contented new wealth But from the on-looking fool who believed your lies I wish this grave would open up and swallow me alive For the bitterest pill is hard to swallow The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows When the wheel of fortune broke, you fell to me Out of grey skies to change my misery The vacant spot, your beating heart took its place Now watch smoke leave my lips and fill an empty room For the bitterest pill is hard to swallow The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows The bitterest pill is mine to take If I took it for a hundred years, I couldn't feel any more ill The bitterest pill is mine to take If I took it for a hundred years, I couldn't feel any more ill Now autumn's breeze blows summer's leaves through my life Twisted and broken dawn, no days with sunlight The dying spark, you left your mark on me The promise of your kiss, but with someone else For the bitterest pill is mine to swallow The love I gave hangs in sad-coloured, mocking shadows The bitterest pill is mine to take If I took it for a hundred years, I couldn't feel anymore ill! The bitterest pill is mine to take If I took it for a hundred years, I couldn't feel anymore pain! The bitterest pill is mine to take If I took it for a hundred years, I couldn't feel anymore ill! The bitterest pill is mine to take If I took it for a hundred years, I couldn't feel anymore pain!
