Tonight I Fancy Myself Lyrics - Beautiful South

(Heaton/Rotheray) 

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 

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

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' 

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

The neighbours ask them out but they flatly refuse 

'We're saving up for a world-wide cruise' 

With a choice between loneliness and love-sick 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
