Lyrics Two Damn'd Lies - Steve Harley

Harley

Two damn'd lies
Married in compromise
You know how to grow but you won't let go of these
Two damn'd lies.

Long lost friends
Why does it end?
You go to confession but you can't resist
Sleeping with your neighbour in a three-way tryst
You'll never get to Heaven, it's a Christy twist
With long lost friends.

Some spoilt kids
Know what they did?
They stood on the edge of a brave new world
Ah some spoilt kids.

Two damn'd lies
Great sacrifice
Running with the messers and you will not stop
Hanging from the ledge but you will not drop
And you know who's responsible but will not shop
These two damn'd lies.

Long lost friends
True to the end
Gone from the memory but you still depend on
Long lost friends.

One last drink
Who knows what to think?
If it nips at your conscience when you think you've sinned
You can give to the Sally with the rattling tin
But experience shows that you cannot win
With one last drink.

One last drink
Who knows what to think?
You've tried other stuff but you can't get enough
So one last drink.

Some spoilt kids
Know what they did?
They camped on the corner of the wild, wild wood
Pocketed Karma from the bad and good
You'll never get to Heaven if you stamp your foot
Like some spoilt kids.
