"Fat As A Fiddle"
(Chris Difford / Boo Hewerdine)

I'm never thin I'm never svelte I always wore the bigger belt I never thought I needed help choosing what to eat each moutful a real treat but when I look and see there's a greater part of me
I see the men who work at the gym they have a ripple with every limb they never have this excess skin to cover up their age we're on a different page I look like a tree there's a greater part of me
It's so hard to put on my socks each morning when I wake I see myself when I was thin and the hearts I used to break
Now I have tits just like my mum I'm out breath before I run I like to eat because it's fun but it comes at such a price. I'm on the old brown rice and the herbal tea for the greater part of me
I always played the boy in goal cross country runs became a stroll I was the doughnut and the hole but inside I felt great I always licked my plate my face full of beans there's a greater part of me
It's so hard to put on my socks each morning when I wake I see myself when I was thin and the hearts I used to break and it's so hard to pull in the street but it never seems too late, it's so hard
