How Many Lies ? Lyrics - Spandau Ballet

Once there were times 

Once there were reasons filled with rhymes 

Everything shared, everything told 

You keep me so warm 

Protect me from all those mighty storms 

And dreams seem so old 

So look at us now, just look at us now 

With our hands on our hearts 

And lines on our brow 

How many lies must we tell? 

How many lies must we see? 

How many times must we say, it's for the best? 

And leave truth as the casualty? 

Do you read through the lines 

Or believe the TV and the Times? 

Where can we find more ways to see? 

You strain on the truth 

And make believe all when you cry wolf 

And the lies you're giving me 

So look at us now, just look at us now 

With our hands on our hearts 

And lines on our brow 

How many lies must we tell? 

How many lies must we see? 

How many times must we say, it's for the best? 

And leave truth as the casualty? 

Oh, well the truth is hard 

So when they write the book 

Fiction's what you wanna be 

Well, it's your freedom of choice 

But you know that lies, are the cancer of democracy 

You've painted your face 

And now you've tainted your words 

And now you're ready and armed with love 

Well if you're head is steady 

And your soul is ready 

We're going up above 

So whatever you wanna be 

Just come on along with me 

If there's truth in our hearts 

Maybe we can break free 

How many lies must we tell? 

How many lies must we see? 

How many times must we say, it's for the best? 

And leave truth as the casualty? 

How many lies must we tell? 

How many lies must we see? 

How many times must we say, it's for the best? 

And leave truth as the casualty? 

How many times must we say, it's for the best? 

And leave nothing, yeah
