The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Darling, you were wonderful, you really were quite good

I enjoyed that, though, of course, no one understood

A word of what was going on, they didn't have a clue

They couldn't understand your sense of humour like I do

You're much too kind

I smiled with murder on my mind

Yesterday, when I was mad

And quite prepared to give up everything

Admitting, I don't believe

In anyone's sincerity, and that's what's really got to me

You have a certain quality, which really is unique

Expressionless, such irony, although your voice is weak

It doesn't really matter 'cause the music is so loud

Of course it's all on tape, but no one will find out

You hated me too

But not as much as I hated you

Yesterday, when I was mad

And quite prepared to give up everything

Admitting, I don't believe

In anyone's sincerity, and that's what's really got to me

Then, when I was lonely

I thought again

And changed my mind

Then we posed for pictures with the competition winners

And argued about the hotel rooms, and where to go for dinner

And someone said: "It's fabulous you're still around today,

You've both made such a little go a very long way"

Yesterday, when I was mad

And quite prepared to give up everything

Admitting, I don't believe

In anyone's sincerity, and that's what's really got to me

Yesterday, when I was mad

And quite prepared to give up everything

Admitting, I don't believe

In anyone's sincerity, and that's what's really got to me

Then, when I was lonely

I thought again

And changed my mind
