Half The Truth lyrics

[Verse 1:Kaiser Chiefs]

Girl and boy, everything in full swing

Heads or tails, doesn't make a difference

Beneath the glamor there was always gonna be

Amateur dramatics, a lot of bad behavior

I would see glasses on the table

One, two, three, only you and me

Wearing nothing in the lap of luxury

Sip it slowly, not a leg to stand on

[Chorus]

Take my money

Waste of paper

Leave the table

Bad behavior

[Verse 2]

I got my spies, swift to every consulate

To be my eyes and tell me what I never see

'Cause a ghost don't fear a lover

Nothing teeth blank, ah get ready for the credit clubber

Secret mole, getting it together

With a big fat bowl of alphabet spaghetti

Watch the birdie looking through the mirror

Polly wanna cracker, that's not what I heard

[Chorus]

[Bridge] (x2)

And I will not lie to you

But I definitely only gave you half the truth

And I will not lie to you

[Verse 3]

Gentlemen turn off your recorders

I can hear them buzzing from inside of your tracksuits

Got to get to California

Where this woman is threatening to sue me

Get right back, back to the beginning

Where we start off single and everything in full swing

Everyone around you wearing big gold hats, come on

Playing the piano now

[Chorus]

[Bridge] (x2)

[Verse 4:Sway]

Listen, I won't lie so baby don't cry

The way I'm feeling right now, I'm feeling so high

I can't tell you to choose, baby you know why

'Cause everybody talks about me, I'm a known guy

I'll tell you half the truth, at least I told you half

But then all the rest of it, I'll tell you if you only ask

'Cause I'm a gold digger and I should know better

[Chorus]

[Bridge] (x2)
