John Wesley Harding - I Can Tell Lyrics
I can tell when you're telling liesI can see it in your smiling eyesI can't help when you're telling liesI can see it in your lack of surpriseI can see just where the truth doesn't lieWatching you cut through the bind that tiesOnce upon a time a story with a happy endBut that's all in the past now, it's all around the bendYou can't appease me now, those hopeless things you sendAnd you can't please me now and we can't start againThere's too much history, and no clean sheetsWhen i get to hear his story, it puts my feet to sleepIt's all romantic nothing about a heart in a rageMurdered by some cartoon villain who ripped out the last page(chorus)Happy ever after, a prince apparent and his brideAll his disarming charm and her unfaithful sideHe's scouting for success and she's his girl guideThe day the die was cast, it was the day i diedAnd now your hips are up for grabs and now the chips are downI could be jetting with the set instead of with this clownYou want it to be unabridged, all bridges should be burntSometimes you must recross them, that's something you never learnt(chorus)There are some tricks you can't pullI mean the wool that isOver my eyesThat's what happens when lookng for loveBecomes a game of i spyI know you're combing someone's hair, or someone's soothing youA lie may well fool someone else but it tells the truthAbout you to you(chorus)
