Lyrics
[Chorus]
Life gives you lemons, better write a bitter letter
Get it out of your system, baby, out of your in-tray
Way beyond the valley sets a brilliant sun
With a shade of vermilion that's a million to one
Life gives you lemons, better write a bitter letter
Get it out of your system, baby, out of your in-tray
Way beyond the valley sets a brilliant sun
With a shade of vermilion that's a million to one
[Verse 1]
You came through in a dream last night
With your sky-blue eyes and your crumpled fivers
Fished out of your sky-blue jeans
For the means of anybody that asked you
Benevolent B
Open hand for the lonely that only closed to a fist
For men if they were dealing in fear
Don't know if you can hear me, man
But the world's gone bananas without you
Ironically
[Refrain]
Midnight meeting with you
Midnight meeting with you
[Instrumental]
Life gives you lemons, better write a bitter letter
Get it out of your system, baby, out of your in-tray
Way beyond the valley sets a brilliant sun
With a shade of vermilion that's a million to one
Life gives you lemons, better write a bitter letter
Get it out of your system, baby, out of your in-tray
Way beyond the valley sets a brilliant sun
With a shade of vermilion that's a million to one
[Verse 2]
You came through in a dream from the other side
Or from the back of my mind, it doesn't matter at all
I awoke with your stupid face emblazoned
And your essence as fresh as the Prestwich dawn
Slow going on Kersal Moor and your house fell down
But they've given all the land to the kids
And a statue of a dashing balloon
Singing "Coward" at a knackered piano by a silvery moon
