Billy Bilo
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.
I'll never really understand
why I believe you,
you're so sly and underhand
I think I'll leave you now
with everything I stole since we met
Stole no kisses just some books
and a butterfly net
oh it's really mean
oh you've scupered all my best laid plans
I plan to leave you
just as soon as I slip it
right out of hand
I can't believe you listed
everything I stole since we met
stole no kisses just some books
and the odd cigarette
never all everyday
must make you wanna stay
believe me
believe me
you wouldn't wanna be me
you wouldn't wanna share the strain of my name
if i could do it all over again
there's nothing I would ch-change
bilo
they call me Billy Bilo
like a fish on a lilo
I'm like a fish on a lilo
I'm all out of place
it's written all over my face
(yeah it is..)
