Paul Carrack - Bad News (At The Best Of Times) lyrics

Well, I opened your last letter Thinking things could only get better But it was bad news at the best of times Tap water dressed as tears I know that trick through all these years But it was bad news at the best of times Some things just cannot be expressed And some bad things we do for the best It would have been bad news at the best of times It would have been bad news at the best of times Had my tongue in my cheek when you were mind It would have been bad news at the best of times whooo My eyes are tired and itching Got me walking round the kitchen It would have been bad news at the best of times Started coughing once too often I can't stop till I don't think of you It would have been bad news at the best of times What price for tomorrow's bride Widowed when her daydream died? It would have been bad news at the best of times Bad news best of times I used to wake up laughing, huh, when you were mine It would have been bad news at the best of times Baby baby, believe in me just one more time I've never asked you to before I'm as guilty as the day I was born Of begging you, pleading you Loving you and needing you When things go this wrong Next time I'd be so strong It would have been bad news at the best of times Driving backwards in a hearse Thinking things can't get any worse It would have been bad news at the best of times The camera never lies for sure, baby that's for sure But you're a sight for these eyes so sore It would have been bad news at the best of times It would have been bad news at the best of times It's stronger than memories when you were mine It would have been bad news at the best of times It would have been bad news at the best of times I used to wake up laughing It would have been bad news at the best of times When you were mine, baby Oooh oooh Had my tongue in my cheek It would have been bad news at the best of times Sing it Oooh oooh yeah Bad news Bad news
