Verse 1
it doesn't really matter what they tell you
you know it really doesn't matter what they say (hey hey)
because behind the cloak and dagger
you'll find they mean, they mean not what they say....no way
Pre Chorus 1
ohh though they give you all the signs
behind the blinds...
Chorus 1
every picture tells a story
though the backdrop once was glory
times were changing oh so fast
some things they're just not meant to last
from it's shiny bright inception
the journey on through veiled deception
i gave and you took it all away
though still you've got nothing....NOTHING ON ME.
Verse 2
your outward signs were so convincing
but skin-deep signs are all the same (all the same)
i'm so much happier since you
showed your hand and gave your game ....away
Pre Chorus 2
the veneer you wore was thin
and time in her way..........she let me in
Chorus 2
every picture tells a story
though the backdrop once was glory
times were changing oh so fast
some things they're just not meant to last
from it's shiny bright inception
the journey on through veiled deception
i gave and you took it all away
though still you've got nothing....mmm nothing.
Chorus 3
to see your exposed demeanour
so opposed to the so much cleaner
the frontage that you gave
there's not much left to save
defences that were once unbroken
breached in full, now fully open
you were so sure you had it all
though now you've got nothing...........
NOTHING ON ME.....
no, nothing at all
Comment:- This is a lyric inspired by a title given me by NickT. Again it's pretty self-explanatory.....I didn't realise I had so much experience of being the recipient of deception (or maybe it's just something I'll never forget.........you know, like the pain of having your head stitched or riding a bike!). In hind-sight, it's almost a re-working of Scarlet Lies in theme, although I now have the added knowledge of another close friend's similar experience!
