THE ONE I LOATHE THE LEAST

Dearest, you’re the one
The one I loathe the least
This world is sick and sad
But you’re not quite so bad
When everyone’s subhuman scum
It’s hard to find some peace
Thank heavens I found you
The one I loathe the least

These streets would be the death of me
I swear I’d go insane
‘Cos every day is dull and grey
And usually it rains
The record stores have closed their doors
The cinema shut down
And every bus is calling us
To pack up and leave town

Meet me on the corner
We’ll go for a wander
And talk about the things we despise

Dearest, you’re the one
The one I loathe the least
This world is sick and sad
But you’re not quite so bad
When everyone’s subhuman scum
It’s hard to find some peace
Thank heavens I found you
The one I loathe the least

My heart is full of songs so cruel
I’m hanging by a thread
The girls are mean
The boys obscene
I wish I’d stayed in bed
The evening news gives me the blues
So I just watch cartoons
And count the days that drift away
Like endless black balloons

There’re so many morons
Don’t know if I could go on
If you weren’t here by my side

Dearest, you’re the one
The one I loathe the least
This world is sick and sad
But you’re not quite so bad
When everyone’s subhuman scum
It’s hard to find some peace
Thank heavens I found you
The one I loathe the least
