Текст песни Cliché (Live) - Fish

I've got a reputation, of being a man with a gift of words
Romantic poetic type or so they say
But I find it hard to express the way I feel about you
Without getting involved in the old clich's

In the old clich's

It's an old clich'

This song's begun so many times but never in a way
That you won't consider to be an old clich'
I want to say that I need you, I miss you when you're away
And how it seemed like fate - oh here we go - the same old clich's

It's the same old clich's

It's not that I'm embarrassed or shy, well you know me too well
But I want to make this song special in a way that you can tell
That it's solely for you, and for nobody else
For my best friend, my lover, when I need help - clich'

Clich'

Everything I want to say to you
Is wrapped up in an old clich'

I'd waited so long to find you
I'd been through the heartbreak and pain
But of course you already know that 'cause you've been through the same

That's why I'm trying to say with my deepest sincerity
That's why I'm finding it comes down to basic simplicities
The best way, is with an old clich'
It's simply the best way, is with an old clich'
Always the best way, is with an old clich'
I'll leave it to the best way, it's an old clich'

I love you

It's not that I'm embarrased or shy, well you know me too well
But I want to make this song special in a way that you can tell
That it's solely for you, and for nobody else
For my best friend, my lover, when I need help

Simply the best way, is with an old clich'
Always the best way, is with an old clich'
Simply the best way, it's an old clich'
Simply the best way, it's an old... clich'...
