Secret Life

[Verse 1]

In your little black book

You've got the names

And the favourite persuasions

Of the people in the headlines

I'm in there under A

And I'm rated under B

You've got photographs to prove it

And I swear to God it's not me

You've got a hard heart

Being hard is your art

You think love is a dirty dirty word

You pick up the phone

And you ring me when I'm at home

And then you put it down

And I'm reaching for my valium

[Chorus]

My secret life

Living life

On a knife edge of life

Tell my wife

And she's just had a breakdown

And I

I'm not rich

But you know I'm top in my pitch

And you'll ruin the lot

Finish everything I've got

My secret life

Secret life

[Post-Chorus]

I'll give you anything

Anything to shut you up

Why do you hate me so much?

What have I ever done to you

But leave you?

[Verse 2]

I don't want to play

Cat and Mouse

Have the neighbours looking over at my house

All the secret smiles

When I walk in the room

And I think I'm going to

Crack up soon

I'm going to run away

Find a place in the dark

Where I don't have to hear

The nasty nasty talk

Change my sex

Change my hair

Be hard to find anywhere

[Chorus]

My secret life

Living life

On a knife edge of life

Tell my wife

And she's just had a breakdown

And I

I'm not rich

But you know I'm top in my pitch

And you'll ruin the lot

Finish everything I've got

My secret life

My secret life

[Post-Chours]

I'll give you anything

Anything to shut you up

Why do you hate me so much?

What have I ever done to you

But leave you?

[Outro]

My secret life

My secret life

My secret life

My secret life

My se-se-secret life
