Said I love you

Till you don't know you're born

Said I'd love you

Till the far side of dawn

But in the morning

If you must leave

Don't leave with your apologies

If you come back

If I liked you at all

Remember I liked you

To fall on your knees

Liar liar you're my last desire

Thought your kind of love was

Just a thorn of the rose

Tried hard to be faithful

Not hard enough I suppose

Tried hard to drown

With a hum and a drum

In a pretty drug slum mire

Tried bearing your sighs

And your sneers and your frown

Tried wearing your jewels

And your heels and your crown

But it was nothing

But a twist of barbwire

It was nothing

But a twist of barbwire

It was nothing

But a twist of barbwire

See I promise

I'll be constantly clean

Did you think that

I still say what I mean

Now you're keening

And you have to decide

Will you open your legs or your eyes

Or do you pray now 'cos

I pray all the time

As the soul can't escape

What the heart may disguise

Liar liar you're my last desire

Thought your kind of love

Was just a thorn of the rose

Tried hard to be faithful

Not hard enough I suppose

Tried hard to drown

With a hum and a drum

In a pretty drug slum mire

Tried bearing your sighs

And your sneers and your frown

Tried wearing your jewels

And your heels and your crown

But it was nothing but a twist of barbwire

It was nothing but a twist of barbwire

It was nothing but a twist of barbwire
