Tonight I Fancy Myself

Intro: She’d brought along the oranges He’d brought the tea They’d 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      "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      [end Chorus] 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      "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] The neighbours ask them out but they flatly refuse "We’re saving up for a world-wide cruise" With a choice between loneliness and lovesick QE2’s Well tonight I choose - self abuse       A four-pack in the fridge A good book on the shelf I think tonight I’d rather love myself Lyrics (C) 1990 Go!
