Lyrics
0:25Take his word if you want it
0:28That burnt-out bird song
0:31I'm not the one who's gonna talk you round
0:37Knows how to sing to your instincts
0:40That charm and snake oil
0:43The little high before he brings you down
0:49Doesn't matter how many words I waste
0:51Banging on like a trebuchet
0:55Pretty clear there's been a change of plan
0:57Whatever you say
1:00Just let the sun set over the slipway
1:03As the last boat comes down
1:06Always knew we were close to an ending
1:09But I just couldn't work it out
1:12I know you think he's some kind of real thing
1:15The kind of truth you wanna find
1:18But if you just needed someone pretending
1:22I could have told you better lies
1:24Don't say you believe it (Don't say you believe it)
1:30Don't say you believe it (Don't say you believe it)
1:36Don't bet it all on the big smile
1:41The presentation
1:44You're not the only one to turn your head
1:50He's got you caught at the turnstile
1:53With no invitation
1:56Watching the dust cloud vanish up ahead
2:00Doesn't matter how many words I waste
2:04Banging on like a trebuchet
2:07Pretty clear there's been a change of plan
2:10Whatever you say
2:13Just let the sun set over the slipway
2:15As the last boat comes down
2:19Always knew we were close to an ending
2:22But I just couldn't work it out
2:25I know you think he's some kind of real thing
2:28The kind of truth you wanna find
2:31But if you just needed someone pretending
2:34I could have told you better lies
2:37Don't say you believe it (Don't say you believe it)
2:43Don't say you believe it (Don't say you believe it)
2:50Doesn't matter how many words I waste
2:53Head banging like a trebuchet
2:56Pretty clear there's been a change of plan
2:59Whatever you say
3:02Just let the sun set over the slipway
3:04As the last boat comes down
3:07Always knew we were close to an ending
3:10But I just couldn't work it out
3:13I know you think he's some kind of real thing
3:17The kind of truth you wanna find
3:19But if you just needed someone pretending
3:23I could have told you, I could have told you
3:26Just let the sun set over the slipway
3:28As the last boat comes down
3:32Always knew we were close to an ending
3:35But I just couldn't work it out
3:38I know you think he's some kind of real thing
3:41The kind of truth you wanna find
3:44But if you just needed someone pretending
3:47I could have told you better lies
3:50Don't say you believe it (Don't say you believe it)
3:55Don't say you believe it (Don't say you believe it)
4:01Don't say you believe it (Don't say you believe it)
4:05Don't say you believe it (Don't say you believe it)
