Ten Lies

Post by MC Eric B »

Ten Lies - By MC Eric B
=====================

Seems like it was just yesterday
with a pink ribbon in her hair
my little baby girl
was kissing her cute teddy bear

But those years have passed
and my girl has grown
now she spends her time at the mall
and on her fancy cell phone

She's even starting to date
and I'm totally freaking out
so I decided to sit her down
tell her what love's all about

To give her a wise old warning
from father to daughter
about how one's romantic life
is full of waves and rough water

But there was one main point
I wanted to drill into her head
that men will do whatever it takes
to get you into bed

Chorus
=======================

Men lie
they all lie
with the rules of dating
they do not comply

So whether you meet a man
in June, March or December
most of what he says is a lie
that's what you have to remember

======================

There's lots of lies they tell
and I'll soon give you the top 10
but know the moral of my story
is never listen to the men

They'll say you don't look fat
no matter what outfit you wear
after you come home from the salon
they'll always say you have nice hair

Ask 'em if they think about other women
or if they like to watch porn
and they'll say "no, no, no,"
with a fake look of scorn

They'll compliment your cooking
eat all the desserts you bake
but they'd rather be at a restaurant
chomping on a giant steak

And when your family comes to visit
they won't see any of his flaws
'cause all men pretend to be nice
to their future mother in-laws

Chorus
=======================
Men Lie
Men Lie
that's one sure thing
on which you can rely
======================

They'll watch your romantic movies
like with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan
but they'd rather see an action flick
with lots of people dyin'

If you try to have a fight
"we'll talk about it later" they say
but it will never come up again
at the end of the day

When he says he's sorry
don't believe a single word
he's just wants you to stop yelling
no matter what events occured

He'll say he never lies
but then will cheat behind your back
and he'll say he's not a player
yet his friends call him a Daddy Mack

Chorus
===========================

Ten lies are what you'll hear
from the mouth of every man
Ten lies that are all part of
their secret romantic plan

Ten lies with the goal
to get you into the sack
Ten lies are what you hear
as they're staring at your rack

That dress doesn't make you look fat
Your hair looks grrrrrreat
You don't look a day over twenty-five
I only have eyes for you


Men
Women
The dating game
The mating game

It's only a cold sore
You're sooooo big
It happens to everybody
I came... twice


I love you
I'll always be there for you
I love you
I'll always be there for you

Here are mine!

The crescent moon hangs in the sky
And I will pluck it out for you
I'll give you the world in endless supply
I'll provide for your flight to the moon

I'll cross the vast sands of the mojave
To bear to you bright desert jewels
Whatever form your desire embodies
I will pursue as a fool

Chorus:
I'll tell you these ten lies
And you'll pretend you believe me
Cause tonight holds no surprise
It was meant to be

I'll battle with kings and warriors and thieves
To hold your virtue intact
I will pull down the tallest of peaks
That you may easily pass

Perhaps I will bridge the widest ocean
I will fight through perilous waves
Remain, will I in perpetual motion
If only to this night save

Rinse and repeat chorus
Am I rockin' hard, or hardly rockin'?

10 Lies
words and music by jack shite

10 lies
10 tries
10 reasons why to say goodbye
your alibis
are no reprise
for 10 more lies

bulletproof
you think you are
your 10 lies took you
just too far
and mediocre
is what you are

simple times
gone astray
all the things
you didn't say
disconnected truth is fact
but i can see right through the act

10 lies
10 tries
10 reasons why to say goodbye
your alibis
are no reprise
for 10 more lies

your alibis
are no reprise
for 10 more lies

your alibis
are no reprise
for 10 more lies

your alibis
are no reprise
for 10 more lies

Those Meddling Kids

It's all I can do to get you on the plane with a bag full of stolen jewels
I told you they were wine gums and you ate the lot
now you have gut rot

Metal detector is sensing you inside from out
----------------------------------The stupidest thing I have done this year
Falling from a great height has got an appeal
----------------------------------Rather than facing a customs men
Metal detector is sensing you inside from out
----------------------------------The stupidest thing I have done this year
This is just one of ten lies instrumental in your demise
Just remember to look in my eyes


The streets are bare, look out for holes in the road
There's no one here and all the locals are speaking in code
We set the date, set the time, find the place
and a system that can handle the bass
Set up a network for information
'Cause you won't find this on TV

Send a signal to throw the fuzz off the scent
----------------------------------Move it on to a warehouse now
Light a match to let everyone know tht we're here
----------------------------------Turn it off at the break of dawn
Send
-------- a
Sig
-------- nal
Throw
-------- the
Fuzz
-------- of
The
Scent! -------- Scent!
This is just one of ten lies instrumental in your demise
Just remember to look in my eyes

Ten Lies

By

Steve Durand


The things that I am hearing
Cause a sense of deja vu
I've been burned before
By this prevarication

And you just keep repeating
The words I know so well
The ten lies
Unfaithful lovers tell

I never meant to hurt you
I'm not seeing other men
It only happened one time
I'll never cheat again

I didn't know what I was doing
I tired to call but you weren't there
I really had to work late
You should really trust me dear

I just can't live without you
And I'll never leave you

I'm getting sick and tired
Of your crass mendacity
I know that you are lying
'cause your lips are moving

You must be quite deluded
If you think that you can sell
Those ten lies
Unfaithful lovers tell

Ten Lies, by NatchDan

You said that you'd always be there
You said that you didn't care
You said that it was too late to talk
You said that that we would go for a walk in the moonlight

But the bigger lie
Was you know me
Yes the bigger lie
Was you know me

You said that it would all turn out fine
You said that you'd always be mine
You said that it was nothing at all
You said that you could never fall in love again

But the biggest lie
Was I love you
Yes the biggest lie
Was I love you

10 Lies
by Monte Carlo

Let's get this one thing straight
Your philosophy is your escape
Certainly no shortcut to grace
I had complete trust and faith

And when I think of you
All I remember
Are the 10 lies you'd tell me

Your virtue was never in doubt
Until we had our falling out
You'd lie with a smile on your face
Straight through your teeth a false promise escaped
You said you lost your faith
You said we were a mistake

And when I think of you
All I remember
Are the 10 lies you'd tell me

Yeah the first lie was when you said we fell from grace
And the second lie was when you said we were a mistake
But the third lie was three long goodbyes
And the fourth lie were the moles on your face
And your fifth lie was that I don't understand you at all
Six, seven, eight, nine, it doesn't matter anymore

But your 10th lie...
Your 10th lie...
Your 10th lie...
Your 10th lie...

Just because I hate going the obvious route...

London fog on the ides of April
twin engines roar, black out the sun
vengeance rides on boeing wings willingly
killer and martyr in one
Hits Big Ben in the eye with hatred
an icon of old brought to the ground
burning hands land at my feet
numbers scatter everywhere

One they found on the edges of Birley street
two was picked up by a man in an alleyway
some of them landed in front of the gallery
but all that the BBC wanted to say was that

Ten lies on the governor's table
let's call it a cause for a war

Rubble rolls off the backs of the soldiers
justice of the blind led under the gun
eagle rose and fell under our feet
pieces scattered everywhere

One they found on the edges of Birley street
two was picked up by a man in an alleyway
some of them landed in front of the gallery
but all that the BBC wanted to say was that

Ten lies on the governor's table
let's call it a cause for a war

Ten Lies
by Billy's Little Trip

-verse-
Well, it's over
I'm out of here,
and I'm gone for good
I'm off to some foreign beach,
where the waves are rip'n all day,
and the rum is cheap
You say that you don't need me anymore,
and you've moved on to better things
I can't say that I blame you,
because I ain't ever going to fuck'n change

-chorus-
Looking up into space at night
I've got the moonlight
Taking my energy to new highs
Counting all of the stars in the sky
I'm seeing double now
Some might get counted twice,
But that's alright

-verse-
When I said that I do,
I really meant it
But did you?
It's been nothing but lies
From the time we met eyes
Ten years through
You always said that you hate my songs,
and I should give it up
You always think they're about you,
but it's not true
But this one is, yep

-chorus-
Looking up into space at night
I've got the moonlight
Taking my energy to new highs
Counting all of the stars in the sky
I'm seeing double now
Some might get counted twice,
But that's alright

-verse-
Well, it's over
I'm out of here,
and I'm gone for good
I'm off to some foreign beach,
where the waves are rip'n all day,
and the rum is cheap

-chorus X2-
Looking up into space at night
I've got the moonlight
Taking my energy to new highs
Counting all of the stars in the sky
I'm seeing double now
Some might get counted twice,
But that's alright

Ten Lies
by Ross Durand


All alone on an island, not a priest or a rabbi or blonde
Shook his head and wondered, "What the hell is going on."
Saw a glint of something over there in the sand
He wipes it off with his hand
A puff of smoke, a flash of light
A magic being appeared from out of sight
"Your wish is my command," he said
But the man was unimpressed
He started explaining who he was, but hte Genie had already guessed
"Mr. President, I'm prepared to compromise,
"I can grant you three wishes or I can grant you Ten Lies."


The man said, "Maybe you don't understand
"I've got everything I need
"I've got riches, an army, power
"Everyhting I can concieve
"I don't know what you think it is that you can give to me."
"I know what is useful when you practice to deceive
"The ultimate weapon is a lie that people believe."


Back on the beach, with the lantern in his hand
The man beckons the Genie, "I just don't understand
"The world was at my feet, it seemed I could do no wrong
"But it feels like the hounds are on the hunt
"And I don't have long."
"An emperor with no clothes has no disguise,
Silly man! You've run out of lies!"
"I don't like this song, but at least it's good." - veGetar Ianra Ge
