The Fratellis Tell Me A Lie song lyrics

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

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

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

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 where slow

And they asked me where I get this stuff, I told them I don't know

And the boy cried whopie-didi

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

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

And the boy cried, hang him at three

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

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
