The Lie — текст песни (Tony Banks)





Thirty odd years before on some grass covered wasteland,

A boy is observed on his own who is watching and playing.

Hes just made a pact with himself,

If that rabbit over there

Doesnt go down yonder hole,

Let the ground beneath him disappear.

And it runs on past,

Fades away in the distance

But the earth doesnt 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

Thats a serious undertaking.

So I say to you,

This time I think Ill act,

Ill be a witness to this contract,

Ill settle everything.

So if you should ever fall in love

Youll not only not be wise,

Youll lose your memory and most of your mind

And Ive never been known to lie...

And now hes 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 wont 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.
