(Kirsty MacColl/Johnny Marr)I want to tell you somethingIt's not a secret or anythingYou're not alone in being aloneAt the end of a perfect dayAnd if you leave all your dependantsThen they will gain their independenceDon't make a martyr of yourselfIt's just the end of a perfect dayAnd it's never how it seemsThe rain may fall on the best laid schemesBut in a written testimonial I'd sayI never really knew you anywayI want to tell you somethingNow don't go crazy or anythingJust want to tell you that it's overIt's the end of a perfect dayDo you want sign language?Don't want a knuckle sandwich!Now you can love or you can hate it's justThe end of a perfect dayYou can't get inside someoneSo don't ask me if we're closeI really couldn't tell youBut I know you wouldn't really listen anywayIt's a pain you have to bearAnd it's always going to be thereBut if you disappeared tomorrowThen the world would carry on without you anywayMind over matter it seemsCan stop you falling apart at the seamsIt's a matter of honour with meI could write out a hundred timesPut my hand on my heart and sayThat I don't want to lieDon't want to lieDon't want to lieAbout the way it isI want to tell you somethingDon't act surprised now or anythingNow you can revel in yourself 'causeIt's just the end of a perfect dayNo it's not a pretty world out thereWith people dying of their own despairBut in a written testimonial you'd sayYou never really knew them anywayI'll never satisfy youI'll never even try toI really couldn't tell, it just depends what you rememberAt the end of a perfect day
