Honesty Is No Excuse Lyrics - Thin Lizzy

Up till now I used to pass my time 

Drinking beer so slowly, sometimes wine 

No God, air, water or sunshine 

And honesty was my only excuse 

I took your love and I used it 

Up till now my youthful stage 

Was a useless rage, a torn out page, a worn out gauge 

A dirty shade, a big charade, a has been made 

And honesty was my only excuse 

I took your love and I used it

Up till now my love life 

A few sweet kisses, a little missy, a fork and knife 

A happy home, a hand to hold, a land to roam 

And honesty was my only excuse 

I used to take life by the hand and I abused it 

Up till now I used to tap dance 

Take a girl by the hand 

Saying I need your, I need your romance 

Oh, I had me some chances 

And honesty was my only excuse 

I used to take your love and I abused it

Up till now the path of life 

Was fair enough 

Enough was fair, all was right 

But now I know, I see the light 

And honesty was my only excuse
