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 |
Thanks... But "It's a rock song, kind of Kiss-hair bandish sounding"

"Lies" by Thompson twins?
|
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. Matt |
"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 |
arrggh.... still not it -- thanks though... You should all check back periodically to find out the real answer so we can find out what this search turns up...haha. I want to say it has the sound of the verse of "god gave rock and roll to you" -- it's that kind of sound... I am gonna check some other kiss stuff just incase...

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! |
Shoot -- not it either...!!

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. :D

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.

Mordred,
Still not it -- but I like that one.... The search continues... Matt! |
