Sting - Big Lie Small World Lyrics

Send "Big Lie Small World" ringtone to your cell

I sat down and wrote this letter

Telling you that I felt better

Since you've gone and I was free

I'm so happy

I have so little time to spare now

I'm wanted almost everywhere now

I make out like Casanova

Friends are always coming over

I signed my name as if I meant it

Sealed it with a kiss and sent it

The letter had improved my mood

Happy in my solitude

But halfway home I changed my tune

And when I saw my lonely room

The mirror caught my eye

When I sit down, I cry

Big lie, small world

It was a big lie, small world

I had to intercept that letter

Telling you that I was better

I raced to catch the postman's van

He was leaving as I ran

I missed the bus, I missed the train

I end up walking in the rain

Big dog chased me down the street

Hadn't had a bite to eat

Feeling sorry for myself

And wishing I was someone else

I walked across the city

Because I couldn't stand your pity

Big lie, small world

It was a big lie, small world

The place you live looks opulent

And obviously a higher rent

Than our cozy little room

I have this sense of doom

Your landlord says you're out of town

But your new boyfriend's always around

The hour was getting late

So I sit down and wait

Here's the postman with my letter

Coming down the path he better

Give that thing to me

I have to make him see

Begging doesn't do the trick

He thinks that I'm a lunatic

But then who comes upon the scene

But your new boyfriend, Mr. Clean

I hit the postman, hit your lover

Grabbed the letter, ran for cover

The police arrived in time for tea

They said they'd like to question me

But I can only curse my fate

I'll have to face the magistrate

It hasn't been the best of days

I'd like to fly away

Big lie, small world

Big lie, small world

It was a big lie, small world

Big lie, small world
