Intro

Verse

Life on the margins

 Little looks we have to steal

 I want to run like vagrants hand in hand across this field

 But I know the way you are I could fall into the star

 But it's not easy for everybody to fall in love

Verse

The city walls are reigning perilous and tall over dark chilling streets

It's not weakness when you fall

Oh it's just too much too fast

Crash that column into the wall

Don't let them tell you that there's a right way to fall in love

And she says

Prechorus

I want to live my life

Don't want to waste my time

I want a man who makes me feel like a woman

Chorus

I used to be your biggest fan

 I used to be your biggest fan

 Now I find that you are slipping in my estimation

I used to be your biggest fan

 I used to be your biggest fan

 And now I know that you could never love someone like me

Verse

I used to run with my whiskers to the sun

I used to shove my weakness like a bullet shoots a gun

But I say

Close in on me, my foundations came undone

I said, why oh why is there so much hate in this world

Verse

Belt out a song, some vicious call-to-arms gone wrong

But we've tended now we're going fifty thousand strong

This one's a dream so shut your mouth and sing along

Oh the science of music is all stupid and cruel

Prechorus

And I know I want to live my life

Don't want to waste my time

Trying to strike the right lyrical density

Chorus

I used to be your biggest fan

I used to be your biggest fan

Now I find that you are slipping in my estimation

I used to be your biggest fan

I used to be your biggest fan

 But now I know that you could never love someone like me

And I know I want to live my life

Don't want to waste my time

I want to be the toast of the shanty-town

You stick around a while

And you cut your teeth

 You can't go home

I used to be

I used to be

I used to be

I used to be

I used to be

I used to be

I used to be

I used to be

 I used to be your biggest fan

 And then I saw you in a doorway

 For a moment you looked tender and I knew

 That I could never ever ever ever ever ever touch you

 Because you might, oh you might touch back

 Oh yes, you might, oh you might touch back

 Well I made a mistake, well I made two

 One for me and one for you

 And then I knew

 That I would measure everybody against you

 Yes I would measure everybody against you

 Well I used to be

 I used to be

 I used to be

 I used to be

 I used to be

 (still )

Your biggest fan

Cheers.
