Lies
I have a problem with my nose
When I lie, the bigger it goes
Honesty never sees the light
I open my mouth, spouting shite
I have a problem with my snout
Disbelief and dubious doubt
Telling the truth, you'll never see
Porky pies, eat at me
I have a problem with my schnozzle
Telling tales, the mind does boggle
Poker playing, I cheat and I lie
One night stand, sweet alibi
I have a problem with my nose
When I lie, the bigger it goes...
When I lie, the bigger it goes
Honesty never sees the light
I open my mouth, spouting shite
I have a problem with my snout
Disbelief and dubious doubt
Telling the truth, you'll never see
Porky pies, eat at me
I have a problem with my schnozzle
Telling tales, the mind does boggle
Poker playing, I cheat and I lie
One night stand, sweet alibi
I have a problem with my nose
When I lie, the bigger it goes...

I always found it amazing the commitment it takes to lie.
Even when confronting them - deny, deny, deny. LOL
white lies are okay - no harm no foul.
But the epic lies - whooo too much energy!
