Big Lie Small World - Sting
Written by：Sting
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
And sealed it with a kiss and sent it
The letter headed through 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 sat down I cried
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 postmans 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
Hadnt 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 a cozy little room
I had this sense of doom
Your land lord says your out of town
But your new boyfriends always around
The hour was getting late
So I sit down and wait
Heres the postman with my letter
Coming down the path he better
Give that thing to me
I have to make him see
Begging doesnt 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 theyd like to question me
But I can only curse my fate
I had 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
