Lyrics: John Bird Jr.
Music: John Bird Jr.
When they said butter wouldn't melt in your mouth
I called you up and you came running around
Now we're lovers, only covers apart
Though the others see you in a different light
I was intrigued to be by your side
Now we're lovers only covers apart
I'm a terrible liar at the best of times
And a shoulder to cry on when you're feeling down
There'll be lilies on the mantlepiece when you come home
There'll be lilies on the mantlepiece when you come home
Another coffee stain left on my bed
Though you never stay you're always in my head
Now we're lovers, only covers apart
Now we're lovers, only covers apart
I'm a terrible liar at the best of times
And a shoulder to cry on when you're feeling down
There'll be lilies on the mantlepiece when you come home
There'll be lilies on the mantlepiece when you come home
You know I'll be a hard act to follow
But some of us are born to run
And I loved it when you borrowed my fun
And I loved it when you borrowed my fun
I'm a terrible liar at the best of times
And a shoulder to cry on when you're feeling down
There'll be lilies on the mantlepiece when you come home
There'll be lilies on the mantlepiece when you come home
