Big Lie, Small World"I sat down and wrote this letter
Telling you that I felt better
Since you've gone and I was free
I'm so happyI have so little time to spare now
I'm wanted almost everywhere now
I make out like Casanova
Friends are always coming overI signed my name as if I meant it
And sealed it with a kiss and sent it
The letter headed through 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 sat down, I criedBig lie, small world
It was a big lie, small worldI had to intercept that letter
Telling you that I was better
I raced to catch the postman's van
He was leaving as I ranI missed the bus, I missed the train
I end up walking in the rain
Big dog chased me down the street
Hadn't had a bite to eatFeeling sorry for myself
And wishing I was someone else
I walked across the city
Because I couldn't stand your pity
Big lie, small world
It was a big lie, small worldThe place you live looks opulent
And obviously a higher rent
Than a cozy little room
I had this sense of doomYour landlord says you're out of town
But your new boyfriend's always around
The hour was getting late
So I sit down and waitHere's the postman with my letter
Coming down the path he better
Give that thing to me
I have to make him seeBegging doesn't do the trick
He thinks that I'm a lunatic
But then who comes upon the scene
But your new boyfriend, Mr. CleanI hit the postman, hit your lover
Grabbed the letter, ran for cover
The police arrived in time for tea
They said they'd like to question meBut I can only curse my fate
I had to face the magistrate
It hasn't been the best of days
I'd like to fly awayBig lie, small world
Big lie, small world
It was a big lie, small world
Big lie, small world
