Dedicated to Kirsty MacColl

lyrics

T.D.K

(lyrics by Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand, Pedro Resende
music by Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand, Pedro Resende, Raphaël Léger)

I became good at lying

(You did your best to believe in me)
Or maybe when I was trying

(You kept acting like you didn’t see)

I’d love to break down and cry

But I’ve never really learnt how to
And I managed to take you on a ride
And now we’re through

I became good at lying

(You did your best to believe in me)
Or maybe when I was trying

(You kept acting like you didn’t see)
I became good at lying
(You were pretty good)

Or maybe when I was trying
(Did you try hard enough?)

Now I’ve done it so many times
It’s not like something new

Oh I wish I kept the truth inside
It’s a pain to get used to

Let me take you down

To the memory hole

It’s the start, the middle and the end
It’s everything I own

Use your imagination

I became good at lying

(You did your best to believe in me)
Or maybe when I was trying

(You kept acting like you didn’t see)
I became good at lying
(You were pretty good)

Or maybe when I was trying
(Did you try hard enough?)
