Help with these lyrics.....toughy!

Hey all,

Ok, I normally do a bit more research when trying to find a song before posting here -- but I am totally stumped on this one... If it helps, it was on a nationally syndicated rock show ( i belive: The House of Hair ) last sunday. I believe it's from the late 70's or mid 80's. It's a rock song, kind of Kiss-hair bandish sounding. The line that i "remember" is:

"blah blah blah LIES, blah blah blah ALIBIS". That line is repeated throughout the song. I think it's the verse and not the chorus, if that helps...


I know this is a stretch, but I love this song, and would love to track it down...


Thanks,

Matt

Do you mean "Lies" (1990) by En Vouge?

Chorus
Lies, lies, using lies as alibis
Lie's, lies, just a devil in disguise

It's the same game
Played in so many ways
Everyone is the victim too
It's just a waste of time
Made for simple minds
So why do people insist on lies

I'll give my life a different way
Refuse to let myself become a victim
Getting caught you in a vicious web of lies, they can hurt you
And destroy you, you watch out for lies, just a devil in disguise

Chorus

The nation's leaders as well as teachers
Practice lies as a way of lie, yes they do
So think before you speak
Cause what you sow you reap

The truth will always come to light
Will we ever learn one day
That telling lies always bring to matters
Misery and sometimes pain

Chorus x4

Rap
Lies and deceit
Yes it's running real rampant
Communities suffering, yo i can't stand it
When we think of lies we tend to think of politicians
But what about the husband who's on a mission
Lying to his wife so he can get it on and get some
Coming back home with a dumb expression
Written on a face that he's guilty as a criminal
It's time to change your attitude
People do you hear me, don't listen
To a funky rhyme that's kickin' knowledge that we need
We lie about our hair
And we know we got a weave
Politicians lie about the things they're gonna do
And everybody's tale affects me and you
A smoker lies about the money that he stole
And a dope dealer never tells you how he got his gold
I guess what debbie t. is really trying to say
When you break it all down we're all the same

I'll live my life a different way
Refuse to let myself be caught up
In a vicious web of lies

Damn -- still nothing. I don't think the song was all about lies -- it was just that one line. I went to wrif.com under programs and looked at saturday and sunday at 7am to 9:30 am which is when i was listening. one show, chop shop, has a play list, but it's none of those... house of hair doesnt have a play list.... arrrgg...

the hunt continues.

"Just Got Lucky" - Dokken

I should'a known better
Should'a seen right thru
Over and over falling in love with you
Wanting you for myself- my first mistake
Finding out the hard way
Was all that I could take

You were just using someone
And I was the one

She said "You just got lucky"
I believed your deadly lies
"You just got lucky"
You're a devil in disguise

Don't wanna hear no lies- no apologies
Imagination gets the best of me
I'm looking everywhere- still I see your face
I'll never forget you- you put me in my place

You were just using someone
And I was the one

She said "You just got lucky"
I believed your deadly lies
"You just got lucky"
I've been hypnotized
She said "You just got lucky"
I believed your deadly lies
"You just got lucky"
You're a devil in disguise

Now that is over and I've seen right through
Not looking back again I'll start anew
Was making love to you such a wasted time
Maybe I love you, still, I'll get you off my mind

You were just using someone
And I was the one

She said "You just got lucky"
I believed your deadly lies
"You just got lucky"
I've been hypnotized
She said "You just got lucky"
I was taken by surprise
"You just got lucky"
You're a devil in disguise

Is it: h2o - "I Know Why"?

And so she said to me
I'm leaving, I can't take it anymore
For all that it's worth, I knew that was over
Long before she turned the handle on my door

Cause I can read between the lies
And I can see behind your eyes
All the lies and alibis

And I can understand your mind
I can see through all your lies
All your eyes and alibis

And so it's over as the pictures
From my wallet hit the floor
Well I stand in distrust
Cause I can't believe it's happening
And my head tells me my heart should close the door

Cause I can read between the lines
And I can see behind your eyes
All the lies and alibis

And I can understand your mind
I can see through all your lies
All your lies and alibis

I tried hard to erase
Cause I don't think that I could ever replace it
I think of all the time I wasted
Listening to your lies

And so it's over
As I wipe the visions of you from my mind
Well I don't count for much
Nut I know the next time
Listening to these reasons
Are they truth or alibis?
Now I know why!

I forgot the obvious:
No Alibis - Eric Clapton


I beg your pardon, hello darlin'
This is me you're talkin' to
Sit down and tell me about it
You don't have to shout it at me
Tell me what you really want to do

Don't give me no alibis
No untrue stories you're trying to justify
Don't want no alibis
Just another reason for another lie

Mountain gets steeper
The hole you dig gets deeper
You better stop and climb out
'Cause I'm trying to give it all to you
Baby I can see right through you
Sometimes you lose what it's all about

Don't give me no alibis
Can't go through life trying to justify
Don't want no alibis
Just another reason for another lie

Don't give me no alibis
No untrue stories you're trying to justify
Don't want no alibis
Just another reason for another lie

Mountain gets steeper
The hole you dig is getting deeper
Better reach out and pull yourself out
Nobody ever gonna love you the way that I love you
And I never want to see you doin' without

Don't give me no alibis
No untrue stories you're trying to justify
Don't want no alibis
Just another reason for another lie

C'mon guys. Dee Snyder and the House of hair is a nationally syndicated 80's glam metal / hair metal radio show. They aren't going to play Thompson Twins, En Vogue, Eric Clapton or the likes. Think along the lines of Poison, Motley Crue, Warrant, Twisted Sister etc. That being said, unfortunatley I do not have any idea what song it is. Sorry.

It would probably help if you hum a few bars of the song.

If have no idea who this band is but:

STATIC-X LYRICS

"Monster"

Breathing, killing, seething, willing
Fighting, biting, hating, waiting for you
Don't you, won't you, don't lie

Give it, get it, live it, let it
Dedicated, nothing sacred for you
Don't you, won't you, I die

Wreak havoc, I'm crippled
Your polluted soul, is so corrupted

In your eyes, see all the lies
The alibis, That I despise

In your eyes, see all the lies
The alibis, That I despise
In your eyes, all the lies
Alibis, I despise
See the lies, spirit dies
Your disguise, Monster size

Breathing, killing, seething, willing
Fighting, biting, hating, waiting for you
I don't know why I try

Give it, get it, live it, let it
Dedicated, nothing sacred for you
I can't see you I'm blind

Wreak havoc, I'm crippled
Your polluted soul, is so corrupted

In your eyes, see all the lies
The alibis, That I despise

In your eyes, see all the lies
The alibis, That I despise
In your eyes, all the lies
Alibis, I despise
See the lies, spirit dies
Your disguise, Monster size

Wreak havoc, I'm crippled
Erasing, Refacing
So worthless, no mercy
Your polluted soul, is so corrupted

OK not a hair metal band but a blast from the 80s punk band - The Circle Jerks - "In Your Eyes"

when it first happened
it was nice it was sweet
now it's getting older
and we're finding that it's not so sweet
smiles growing cold
perfumes getting stale
i can see it in your eyes
all the lies and alibis
i can see it in your eyes
all the lies and alibis
happiness together honey
there's just no way
our love has seen much better days
it's over now
yes it's gone
no one's at fault
no one's wrong
i can see it in your eyes
all the lies and alibis
i can see it in your eyes
all the lies and alibis

I'm wondering if it might be Lizzy Borden's Visual Lies from the album of the same name. Unfortunately I can't find the lyrics on line at all. I'll go home tonight and check out the liner notes and see if that might be it. It certainly seems like it would meet all the criteria you've stated.
