Thin Lizzy – Honesty Is No Excuse (Richard Whitaker Mix) Lyrics

Honesty Is No Excuse (Richard Whitaker Mix) – Thin Lizzy Lyrics

Up till now, I used to pass my time

Drinkin' 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

Ooh, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I never knew, I never knew, I nеver knew

Up till now, my love lifе

A few sweet kisses, a little missy, a fork and knife

A happy home, hand to hold, a land to roam

And honesty was my only excuse

I used to take life by the hand and I abused it

Ooh, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Up till now, I used to tap dance

Take a girl by the hand, say, "I need ya, I need your romance"

Oh, I had me some chances

And honesty was my only excuse

I used to take your love and I'd abuse it

Ooh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, baby

Oh

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, oh, my greatest excuse
