The Bitterest Pill (I Ever Had To Swallow) - The Jam

In your white lace and your wedding bells

You look the picture of contented new wealth

But from the on-looking fool who believed your lies

I wish this grave would open up and swallow me alive

For the bitterest pill is hard to swallow

The love i gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows

When the wheel of fortune broke, you fell to me Out of grey skies to change my misery

The vacant spot, your beating heart took its place

But now i watch smoke leave my lips and fill an empty room

For the bitterest pill is hard to swallow

The love i gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows

The bitterest pill is mine to take

If i took if for a hundred years, i couldn’t feel any more hate

Now autumn’s breeze blows summer’s leaves through my life

Twisted and broken dawn, no days with sunlight

The dying spark, you left your mark on me The promise of your kiss, but with someone else

For the bitterest pill is mine to swallow

The love i gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows

The bitterest pill is mine to take

If i took if for a hundred years, i couldn’t feel anymore ill!
