My, what a brilliant song! Thanks to Kirsty for writing it.

Intro:


Verse 1:
                                           
Oh you shouldnt have kissed me and got me so excited
                                     
And when you asked me out I really was delighted
                               
So we went to a pub in belsize park
                                          stop
And we cheered on england as the sky grew dark

Bridge:
                                                 
Oh you shouldnt have kissed me cause you started a fire
                                         stop
But then I found out that youre a serial liar

Chorus:
                    
You lied about your status
                    
You lied about your life
                               
You never mentioned your three children
                        
And the fact you have a wife
                          
Now its england 2 colombia 0
                                    
And I know just how those colombians feel

Verse 2:
If you hadnt passed out while I was talking to your friend
It could have really ended badly cause you very nearly had me
If he hadnt taken pity on my heart full of desire
I might never have found out youre a serial liar

Chorus

Verse 3:
                                               
It is not in my nature to ever pick the winning team
                                                 
Sometimes I think I'm happy then I remember its a dream
                                        
Now it isn't in my nature to ever pick a winner
                                                  stop
I always pick a bastard who would have me for his dinner
                                   
I can never possess the object of my desire
                                         
Cause hes bound to turn out to be a serial liar
                                                 
Ok I didnt mention my kids, I thought I'd wait a bit
                                         stop
But I am free and single and hes a lying git

Chorus:
Cause he lied about his status
He lied about his life
He forgot he had three children
He forgot he had a wife
And its england 2 colombia 0
I know just how those colombians feel

For this next verse put down that pick pull some random strings on the quaver notes.
Verse:
                                          
So I got into a taxi and sobbed all the way home
                                                  
Called my friend up in Sao Paulo and cried down the phone
                                              (STRUM)
I played some tragic music and I lay down to die
                                    
But later I woke and I hadnt stopped crying

You should never have kissed me, you tasted of deceit
Your perfume was adultery but I'm not a piece of meat
So Ill be the one that you couldnt acquire
I found out in time youre a serial liar

                    
You lied about your status
                    
You lied about your life
                      
And I pity your three children
                     
And I pity your poor wife
                   (stop)
Now you can go to hell
              (stop)
I'm going to Brazil
                           (Mess around on , , , and then land on )
Still its england 2 colombia 0
