Song For Whoever Tab

by Beautiful South


                                   

I Love you from the bottom, of my pencil case

                               

I love you in the songs, I write and sing



                                           

Love you because, you put me in the rightful place

                               

And I love the PRS checks, that you bring



              

Cheap, never cheap

                          

I'll sing the songs 'till you're asleep

                 

When you've gone upstairs I'll creep

                 

And write it all down



                                 

Oh Shirley, Oh Deborah, Oh Julie, Oh Jane

                  

I wrote so many songs about you

              

I forget your name (I forget you name)

                                                

Jennifer, Allison, Philippa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too

                                                

Jennifer, Allison, Philippa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too

               

I forget your name



            

            



                                  

I love you from the bottom of my pencil case

                          

I love the way you never ask me why

                                        

I love to write about each wrinkle on your face

                                    

And I love you 'till my fountain pen runs dry



        

Deep so deep,

             

The number one I hope to reap

               

Depends upon the tears you weap,

              

So cry lovely cry, cry



                                 

Oh Cathy, Oh Alison, Oh Philippa, Oh Sue

           

You made me so much money,

                      

I wrote this song for you

                                                

Jennifer, Allison, Philippa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too

                                                

Jennifer, Allison, Philippa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too



            

            



                                 

Oh Cathy, Oh Alison, Oh Philippa, Oh Sue

           

You made me so much money,

                      

I wrote this song for you

                                                

Jennifer, Allison, Philippa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too

                                                

Jennifer, Allison, Philippa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too



            

            



                                 

So let me talk about Mary, a sad story

                       

Turned her grief into glory

                                 

So let me talk about Mary, a sad story

                       

Turned her grief into glory



                        

Late at night, by the typewriter light

                          

She ripped his ribbon to shreds

                        

Late at night, by the typewriter light

                          

She ripped his ribbon to shreds



                                 

So let me talk about Mary, a sad story

                       

Turned her grief into glory

                                 

So let me talk about Mary, a sad story

                       

Turned her grief into glory



                        

Late at night, by the typewriter light

                          

She ripped his ribbon to shreds

                        

Late at night, by the typewriter light

                          

She ripped his ribbon to shreds



            

            



                      

I wrote this song for you
