you told me you loved me

so i don't understand

why promises are snapped in two

and words are made to bend

(the bigger, the better)

some stolen from japan

collected from around the world,

they'll catch you if they can



(chorus)

lies lies lies yeah

lies lies lies yeah

lies lies lies yeah

do i have to catch you out

to know what's on your mind

well, cleopatra died for egypt,

what a waste of time



white ones and red ones

and some you can't disguise

twisted truth and half the news

can't hide it in your eyes



(REPEAT CHORUS)



you say you'll try harder

but i think it's just too late

well, the car is revving in the drive,

and i'm not the sort to wait



the bigger, the better

some nicked from old saigon

collected from around the world

love lies on and an and on and on and on and



lies lies lies yeah (they're gonna get you)

lies lies lies yeah (they won't forget you)

lies lies lies yeah (they're gonna get you)

lies lies lies yeah

oh you know i know



(REPEAT CHORUS)

oh you know i know



(REPEAT CHORUS
