truth, bitter truth
marianne faithfull
where did it go to my youth
where did it fade away to?
who was it told the truth - the bitter truth
the truth we didn't want to know?
what is it - do you know?
what is it - can i bear it?
who is it - when did it happen and where?
how could you think i'd stand it?
you knew i'd pay you back
i did it and it happened - do you care?
where did it fade away to?
who was it told the truth - the bitter truth
the truth we didn't want to know?
this man of power but a fool
they said he was so high and pure
they also said that he was cruel
they knew he couldn't take it
they wanted lies - he said the truth
they did it - and it happened - who cares?
where did it slip away to?
who was it told the truth - the bitter truth
the truth they didn't want to know?
how could you think i'd stand it?
you knew i'd pay you back
i did it - and it happened - do you care?
what is it - do you know?
who did it - can i bear it?
who is it - when did it happen and where?
what is it - do you know?
who did it - can i bear it?
who is it - when did it happen and where?
where did it slip away to?
who was it told the truth
the truth i didn't want to know?
