lyrics

Words Paul Henry Smith. Music Smith & McCairney

How many times must I lie to you?
About the wonderful things I do
How many times must I pretend to like?
A compulsory smile to the camera
How many fake certificates?
What do I need for a one way vision?
How do I get myself excited?
When my hopes appear to be blind

The youth are skipping happily by
Some are running far too fast
How many times must I lie to you?
How many times must I lie to you?

Are you finally getting bitter?
As you watch your people get on
As you watch them all succeed
As you watch their faces light up

When you finally recognised
And you are still left behind
To sit in the social club
With your coupon and yer pint
