Lies
Deceptive Echoes: Unraveling the Thompson Twins' Mysterious Lies
Lyrics
you told me you loved me
You expressed love to me
so i don't understand
I'm confused and don't comprehend
why promises are snapped in two
Wondering why promises break and words distort
and words are made to bend
Words are manipulated
(the bigger, the better)
(The larger, the better)
some stolen from japan
Some ideas taken from Japan
collected from around the world,
Collected globally, they'll catch you if possible
they'll catch you if they can
They'll catch you if they can
(chorus)
(Chorus)
lies lies lies yeah
Lies, lies, lies, yeah
lies lies lies yeah
-lies lies lies yeah
-do i have to catch you out
Do I need to catch you in the act to understand your thoughts?
to know what's on your mind
Understanding your intentions without catching you
well, cleopatra died for egypt,
Cleopatra died for Egypt, seen as a pointless sacrifice
what a waste of time
What a waste of time
white ones and red ones
White lies and red lies
and some you can't disguise
Some lies are hard to disguise
twisted truth and half the news
Twisted truths and half-truths in the news
can't hide it in your eyes
Can't hide deception in your eyes
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(Repeat Chorus)
you say you'll try harder
You claim you'll put in more effort
but i think it's just too late
I believe it's too late for that
well, the car is revving in the drive,
The car is ready to go, and I won't wait
and i'm not the sort to wait
I'm not the patient type
the bigger, the better
(The larger, the better)
some nicked from old saigon
Some ideas taken from old Saigon
collected from around the world
Collected globally
love lies on and an and on and on and on and
Love lies on and on and on and on
lies lies lies yeah (they're gonna get you)
Lies, lies, lies, yeah (They're gonna get you)
lies lies lies yeah (they won't forget you)
Lies, lies, lies, yeah (They won't forget you)
lies lies lies yeah (they're gonna get you)
Lies, lies, lies, yeah (They're gonna get you)
lies lies lies yeah
Lies, lies, lies, yeah
oh you know i know
Oh, you know, and I know
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(Repeat Chorus)
oh you know i know
Oh, you know, and I know
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(Repeat Chorus)
