lyrics

(badly!)

I wrote to Marion in biro on a page I tore in half
I spelled her husband's middle name completely wrong
I said the thing about the shed and got the year wrong too
And she has read it forty times, she told me on the phone

Badly is fine (badly is fine)
Send it badly, badly is fine
Wrong year, wrong name, badly is fine
Badly is fine

Badly is fine, badly is fine, badly is fine, badly is fine
A perfect letter you don't send is worth exactly nothing
Badly is fine, badly is fine, badly is fine, badly is fine
And a rubbish one that lands is worth the entire world

Four months I did not write because I could not do it well.
Four months a woman sat alone because I wanted to be good at it.
That is not care. That is vanity with a nice coat on.
(BAND EXPLODES)

Badly is fine, badly is fine, badly is fine, badly is fine
A perfect letter you don't send is worth exactly nothing
Badly is fine, badly is fine, badly is fine, badly is fine
And a rubbish one that lands is worth the entire world

(badly is fine!)
