paroles de chanson Glorious Fool - John Martyn

Out of the west come a curious fool
He tried to impress me with his furious cool
He lied from the start
I knew just what he was trying.
He lied to his mother
And lied to the rest
He lied to his brother
Who loved him the best
I believe he lies to my children.
Ah, half the lies he tells you, they're not true
I say that half the lies he tells you, they're not true
I know half the lies he tells you, they're not true
They never could be
Half the lies he tells you, they're not true.
You may come to the white house
You walk through the white door
You come to the corridor of power
You might slip on the white house floor.
You come to the wrong, to to the wrong floor
You come and see the wrong people
You knocked on the wrong door
Watching a person
Watching a thief
Watching a lover
Watching a leaf
You could watch what you want, when you will
You can't watch a liar.
You lied to your friend
You lied to you now
Some lies, somehow
I believe he lies to my children.
Oh, half the lies he tells you, they're not true
I know half the lies he tells you, they're not true
They never could be
Half the lies he tells you, they're not true.
They never ever will be
Half the lies he tells you, they're not true
You may come to the white house
You walk through the white door
You might step on the corridor of power
You might slip on the white house floor.
You come to the wrong, du du the wrong floor
You come and see the wrong people
You knocked on the wrong door
Out of the west came a curious fool
Intent to impress me with his furious cool
He lied from the start
I knew just what he was trying to do.
He lied to his mother
He lied to the rest
He lied to the lovers
Who loved him the best
I believe he lies to my children.
Oh, half the lies he tells you, they're not true
Believe it that half the lies he tells you, they're not true
Half the lies he tells you, they're not true.
They never could be
Half the lies he tells you, they're not true
Half the lies he tells you, they're not true
I say half the lies he tells you, they're not true
Half the lies he tells you, they're not true
