Tony Banks - The Lie Text

Songtext zu The Lie

Thirty odd years before on some grass covered wasteland
A boy is observed on his own who is watching and playing
He's just made a pact with himself
If that rabbit over there
Doesn't go down yonder hole
Let the ground beneath him disappear
And it runs on past
Fades away in the distance
But the earth doesn't move, nobody thought that it would
He makes bets and pledges again and again
Sometimes he wins, sometimes he loses, no matter
Some might call him stupid
To tempt fate in this way
But he really does believe in it

Each time the rules are made
There he goes again
'if I never fall for a lady then let me famous, let me be wise -'
Now this one I like
It has a different ring

Instead of something trivial
That's a serious undertaking
So I say to you
This time I think I'll act
I'll be a witness to this contract
I'll settle everything
So if you should ever fall in love
You'll not only not be wise
You'll lose your memory and most of your mind
And I've never been known to lie...
And now he's not really sure if he truly heard someone
So what if he did, he thinks, for nothing will happen
Though he seems to shrug it off
He won't play that game again
Forever morning after the night before
When even one drop would cause pain
And the years go by
The incident is all but forgotten by one
But the other who lives it remembers that innocent fun
