honesty is no excuse

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

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

i never

i never

i never

up till now my love life

a few sweet kisses

a little missus

a fork and knife

a happy home

a hand to hold

a land to roam

and honesty was my only excuse

i took my life in my own hands 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 so many chances

and honesty was my only excuse

i took your love and abused it

up till now the path of life was fair enough

enough was fair

all was right

and now i know

i see the light

and honesty was my only excuse
