In your little black book

You've got the names

And the favourite persuasions

Of the people in the headlines

I'm in there under A

And I'm rated under B

You've got the photographs to prove it

And I swear to God it's not me

You've got a hard heart

Being hard is your art

You think love is a dirty dirty word

You pick up the phone

And you ring when I'm at home

Then you put it down

And I'm reaching for my valium



Chorus:

My secret life

Living life

On a knife edge of life

Tell my wife

And she's just had a breakdown

And I

I'm not rich

But I'm top in my pitch

And you'll ruin the lot

Finish everything I've got



I'll give you anything

Anything to shut you up

Why do you hate me so much

What have I ever

Done to you

But leave you



I don't want to play

Cat and Mouse

Have the neighbors

Looking over at my house

All the secret smiles

When I walk in the room

And I think I'm going to

Crack up soon

I'm going to run away

Find a place in the dark

Where I don't have to hear

The nasty nasty talk



Change my sex

Change my hair

Be hard to find anywhere



Chorus
