Subject: Beautiful South — ‘Tonight I Fancy Myself’
Tonight I Fancy Myself
By Paul Heaton and David Rotheray
Intro:
C F C F C F C F
C F
She’d brought along the oranges
C F
He’d brought the tea
Dm F C F C F
They’d both brought along a sick-bag just in case
The plate of chicken sandwiches
Were lovely they agreed
Dm F C F C F
And I watched him spit the bits into her face
«Do you love me like you used to» he sighs
Dm G C F C F
«I love you twice as much» she replies
They were on the train to Venice, where else?
Dm G C F C F
I think tonight I fancy myself
G
[Chorus]
C F
I’d rather drink that toast to my own health
C G
I think tonight I’d rather love myself
C F
And if you drink that drink to your own health
C G C F C F
I think tonight I’d rather love myself
[end Chorus]
Later in the evening
The sun came rolling down
Dm F C F C F
And they talked about their fantasies and fears
Between the heavy breathing
And those lighter licking sounds
Dm F C F C F
I heard him whisper this question in her ear
«Would you still love me if I lost my legs?»
Dm G C F C F
«I’d see that you were loved and you were fed»
«I end up in a car crash almost dead»
Dm G C F C F
«For richer and for partly severed head»
[Chorus]
Am G
The neighbours ask them out but they flatly refuse
Am G
«We’re saving up for a world-wide cruise»
Am G
With a choice between loneliness and lovesick QE2’s
Am Em-G-C F C F
Well tonight I choose — self abuse
A four-pack in the fridge
A good book on the shelf
Dm G C
I think tonight I’d rather love myself
