Wonderful lie Songtext

von Eddi Reader, Clive Gregson & Boo Hewerdine

I remember all of this in slow motion
Every tawdry detail
Dust caught in the sun in your kitchen
Empty words, saying nothing

I nearly forgot who I was
I nearly forgot who I was
I nearly forgot who I was
I nearly forgot who I was

A church behind a road, a couple kissing
Both of us know what that means
I'd rather have that kiss than what is missing
Say anything you like and I'll believe you

I nearly forgot who I was
I nearly forgot who I was
I nearly forgot who I was
I nearly forgot who I was

What a wonderful lie
What a wonderful lie
What a wonderful lie
What a wonderful lie
What's the truth ever done for me?
I don't know
So tell me again
Tell me again
Tell me again
This wonderful lie

All I want is something I can't have
And if you can't tell the truth
Then make it a wonderful lie

I see you dance with all your heroes
Each different doll in Judy Garland shoes
And if they can dance
Then why, oh why, can't I?

I nearly forgot who I was
I nearly forgot who I was
I nearly forgot who I was
I nearly forgot who I was

What a wonderful lie
What a wonderful lie
What a wonderful lie
What a wonderful lie
What's the truth ever done for me?
I don't know
So tell me again
Tell me again
Tell me again
Tell me again
This wonderful lie
This wonderful lie
This wonderful lie
