Текст песни:

[Verse 1]
Well, once I was persuaded to open up my head
I told them how it was and went and got it wrong instead
I said, would you believe me if you only knew
I'd been stealing everything, this conversation's through

[Pre-Chorus]
And the boy cried, hang him at three
I saw him on the front page, laughing at me
He worked in a fairground in a tall hat
He's a liar, he's a liar, a good one at that
[Chorus]
Say what you wanna, say what you will
Write your number on my telephone bill
Walk like a monkey, kick like a mule
I could be a beggar, but I'd rather be just as cruel

[Verse 2]
So I told them all I could about what could they expect
But I lost my sense of smell and I gained my self-respect
They told me I was curious, I told them they were slow
And they asked me where I get this stuff, I told them I don't know

[Pre-Chorus]
And the boy cried whopie-deedee
There's a women with a mustache who won't let me be
Though she was born on a Monday, she's a hundred and four
She's a liar, she's a liar, a little bit more

[Chorus]
Say what you wanna, say what you will
Writes her number on my telephone bill
Walk like a monkey, kick like a mule
I could be a beggar, but I'd rather be just as cruel

[Guitar solo]

  • Well I hide like sunshine, see how I climb Howl like a devil til it’s safe enough for me to come home I’ll come home I’ll be there with bells on waiting for relief And I know I can get there, feel everywhere E equals mc squared til it’s safe to come home I’ll come home I’ll be there when you make it worth my while Imagine the scene Us lost in between The north and the south East and west of the strange and obscene I pick you a rose And everything slows I fall to my knees in a squeeze Oh I guess I suppose Ha ha take your sister to the river Don’t forget to give her best wishes from me This life is a complicated business Can I get a witness to my own history Well I feel like nothing, everybody bluffing Sleep til my bones unwind and I’ll dare to come home I’ll come home I’ll be there with my dress hitched up, no joke Imagine the scene Us lost in between The north and the south East and west of the strange and obscene I pick you a rose And everything slows I fall to my knees in a squeeze Oh I guess I suppose Ha ha take your sister to the river Don’t forget to give her best wishes from me This life is a complicated business Can I get a witness to my own history Slow days are too much for me to handle Burning out the candle is the perfect reply Your face has the makings of a scandal From a viper to a vandal wave your troubles goodbye Ha ha take a stroll out of the city Why does only pretty rhyme with city, what a pity Come down from your high horse Mary I don’t mean to be contrary but when was the last time You saw your reflection in the water Don’t you think you ought to check your eyesight sometime You’ll see a reprieve and a repose How long God only knows I guess I suppose Ha ha Ha ha
  • She can't help it, the girl can't help it You can find her scratching around in the dark Just another candle chasing a spark You can find her screaming along with the ghosts Reminds you she's the one you needed the most And then you're out there on your own again No one believes you when you lie I still see all the old girls now and then Catching the moonlight as they cry She can't help it, the girl can't help it The wrong way round's the right way up when she calls You can laugh but it won't mean nothing at all Yes you can find her scratching away in her room Stumblin' round by the light of the stragglers moon And then you're out there digging holes again Six million people can't be wrong Some day you'll buy the perfect soul and then you can get back where you belong And then you're out there on your own again No one believes you when you lie I still see all the old girls now and then catching the moonlight when they cry
