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
