Better to Be Bitter

by Bill Pritchard

on Three Months, Three Weeks &Two Days (1989)

She kind of sparkled when she said it's all over
And everybody knows it can be a pretty sick time those first few days
He couldn't even throw himself into the river or another job
So he said,
Sometimes It's Better To Be Bitter
Sometimes It's Better To Be Bitter

And like the woman in the channel four chat show who said depression is a disease we all know
And where did all my self confidence go?
And when she looked into those dead red eyes
Smarting from guilt and Guinness
He said
Sometimes It's Better To Be Bitter
Sometimes It's Better To Be Bitter
Sometimes It's Better To Be Bitter
