Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
If I won the lottery, I’d drop you like a stone
I’d pack my bags at sunrise and leave you on your own
I’d buy a one-way ticket to the Spanish coast
Leave a note on the table, just a scribbled ghost
You’d wake up to an empty bed, my suitcase long gone
The kettle cold and silent, the telly droning on

[Chorus]
If I won the lottery, I’d drop you like a stone
I’d be off to pastures new, you’d be on your own
No more nagging mornings, no more tired moans
If I won the lottery, I’d finally be alone

[Verse 2]
You’ve become much too plump for my liking, it’s true
And the way you chew your dinner—it’s enough to make me stew
Your laugh is like a siren, your temper like a storm
I’d trade our little terrace for some place warm
I’d leave you the remote, the bills, and the cat
Take the good duvet, and never look back

[Chorus]
If I won the lottery, I’d drop you like a stone
Find a villa with a pool, turn off my phone
No more Sunday roasts, no more silent fights
If I won the lottery, I’d vanish in the night

[Bridge] [Sparse, quiet, confessional]

But the numbers never come up, the ticket’s in the bin
The tea’s still cold in your cup, the world keeps rolling in
You mutter in your sleep, the cat cries at four
And I’m still sitting here, staring at the door

[Final Chorus] [Softer, weary, almost gentle]

If I won the lottery, I’d drop you like a stone
But dreams are cheap, and chances thin as bone
So I’ll pour another cup, turn the telly on
If I won the lottery…
But I never have, and you’re still here—and I’m not gone

[Outro] [Acoustic guitar riff, fading]

(Faint, resigned)
Just a dream, just a dream, just a dream…
