Mitch
(written by Heaton & Rothery, (c) by Mercury)

 

(Of the darkness in your head
I can control you)


How can I turn this red cross back into a tick
Like how come I turn good looks into frail and sick
Not only did I blind the blind but I also took their stick
I've crippled myself with a baseball bat and a brick


Chorus:
Most of the men like to whine about the seven year itch
They're the same men who call you a liar and bitch
But you're the reason I'm still here and not face in a ditch, Mitch
And they're a lot poorer than me, I'm incredibly rich


Until I watch them lower my coffin deep down in the grave
Until I hear the digging sound of soil and spade
There doesn't seem a single person able to persuade
This self-indulgent idiot is the easiest laid.


Chorus:
Most of the men like to whine about the seven year itch
They're the same men who call you a liar and bitch
But you're the reason I'm still here and not face in a ditch, Mitch
And they're a lot poorer than me, I'm incredibly rich

And if there's a way to pay you back before I die
If there's one little prayer I can answer, I'll try
Write these words in cloud on the bluest of skies
The best pair of ears to a man who just wanted to cry
The best pair of ears to a man who just wanted to cry


How did I screw up and throw such a beautiful chance
Turn down every woman that asked me up to dance
You'll stab me with the truth, use a sword, use a lance
I still think two steps back is the way to advance


Chorus:
Most of the men like to whine about the seven year itch
They're the same men who call you a liar and bitch
But you're the reason I'm still here and not face in a ditch, Mitch
And they're a lot poorer than me, I'm incredibly rich

If there's a way to pay you back before I die
If there's one little prayer I can answer, I'll try
Write these words in cloud on the bluest of skies
The best pair of ears to a man who just wanted to cry
The best pair of ears to a man who just wanted to cry


Cry, cry, cry...
