Say Nothing Else
Confront someone,
In the telling of a lie done.
And watch their eyes,
Quickly shift...
To avoid any acknowledgement of it!
Say nothing else!
And soon you will be entertained...
By someone losing any integrity that remains.
Observe how they drift to protect themselves.
Back and forth with hopes to find an exit.
And instead of admitting,
They've been caught off guard by surprise...
They will try to cover up one lie told,
To excuse it with an alibi.
And that alibi,
Defies the evidence another holds and shows.
Say nothing else.
A culprit knows...
When a self incriminating mouth,
Is best to keep closed.

Waiting For An Alibi
Valentinos got a booky shop and what he takes
He gives for what hes got
And what hes got he says he has not
Stolen from anyone
Its not that he dont tell the truth
Or even that he misspent his youth
Its just that he holds the proof
But you feel theres somethings wrong
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Valentinos in a cold sweat, placed all his money on that last bet
Against the odds he smokes another cigarette
Says that it helps him to forget
That hes a nervous wreck
Its not that he misses much
Or even that hes lost his lucky touch
Its just that he gambles so much
And you know that its wrong
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting just to catch your eye
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Try to say I told you I told you
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting just to get you
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
To say I told you
Waiting for an alibi

Heaven Right Now
She's everything
a married man
should look for in a girl
She's married too
but not to you
and that's part of the thrill
She's the one who makes you feel alright
Her alibi's your alibi - it's watertight
She's old enough
to know of love
and know that this is not
But young enough
to not be willing
to settle for what she's got
She's the one who makes you feel alright
Her alibi's your alibi - it's watertight
And if you get caught
you're going to hell
but it's heaven right now
She's the one who makes you feel alright
Her alibi's your alibi - it's watertight
She's everything
a married man
should look for in a girl
She's married too

Nervous Alibi
J. spinks
Cherry, where you been since 9 this morning?
Give me all the names who saw you there
But if they cant remember
I know that youll surrender
Another nervous alibi
Cherry, whats this game you think youre playing
Dont you know I hate those clothes you wear
For Ive seen men undress you
And with their eyes caress you
Another nervous alibi
Cherry, name the day and Ill be waiting
Give me just one chance to show I care
I know if were together
It can go on forever

Rhythm & Blues Alibi
[intro]
You can write your tunes with rhythm and blues as your alibi
You can sell your soul and lay the blame on the passers-by
You shake your body on the tv screen
It seems to me, youd try anything twice
And swing it out and use it as your aphrodisiac
You can give it to me, to me
Plain to see that Ill give it you back
You let it flow, let it go, theres nothing to it
Anyone can try anything twice, try anything twice
Chasing after stories that have already been told
Cannot look old son house in the eyes
I know where you carry such a fragile load
But Ive got yours, and youve got mine
Its a rhythm and blues alibi
[instrumental]
La la la la la la la la la la laaa..
You can take a trip through your juke joint smoke-filled paradise
You can give it your all, cause you are walking a fine, fine line, la
You shake your booty on the tv screen
Seems to me, youd try anything twice
Youd try anything twice
Well let me hear you now..
Chasing after stories that have already been told,
Couldnt I look old sunhouse in the eyes,
I know where you carry such a fragile load,
And Ive got yours, youve got mine
Its a rhythm and blues alibi
La la la la la etc.

Fundamental of Liar Chapter LXXVI: How to Bury the Truth
Erase the answer
Keep the secret
Guard the treasure
Destroy the proof
Kill the witness
Faith the death
Slip the track
Ploy the mystery
Vague the time
Friend the darkness
Make an alibi
Web the power
Watch the rebel
Cover the news

Sweet Alibi
You got your voodoo workin' on a policy
6 months down with a guarantee
And you don't need money in the first degree
But you're never ever gonna be a wannabe
Well you can catch me liggin' in a dissaray
Stretched out lying on my resume
And I'll be back for another day
But you can bet your bottom buck I'm gonna have my way
So why oh why we always stay together baby
Why I guess it was always meant to be
You give me that
Sweet alibi gimmie that gimme that
Whenever you are fallin' ooh
Your sweet alibi gimmie that gimme that
Whenever you are callin' by
You got your boom boom box in your cherokee
Got your hard drive talkin' to your phd
And when you're lucked out liggin' on your liberty
Gonna bet ya bottom buck you're comin' home to me
Two tone kickers and my herrin bone
Call my baby on the megaphone
With my dv runnin' gonna bump and groan
Whatever road you take you got your way back home
So why oh why we always stay together baby
Why I guess it was always meant to be
You give me that
Sweet alibi gimmie that gimmie that
Whenever you are fallin' ooh
Your sweet alibi gimmie that gimmie that
Whenever you are callin' by
If I make a rule you break it
It takes two you know two of us to make it
And heaven knows I try to take it
You give me all of that and that's a fact
'Cos you keep buggin' me
Sweet alibi gimmie that gimmie that
Whenever you are fallin' ooh
Your sweet alibi gimmie that gimmie that
Whenever you are callin' by

Secret Alibi
Piece by piece youre
Tearin me apart
Give to me and try
Another start
Brick by brick you
Really love that game
Things from which i
Cant refrain
So many stories have
Been told
I give a damn,
Theyre just too old
How often will we face
The end of our dreams?
When will I see it
All come true?
A splendid time
For me and you
Can we expect it bein
Nice as it seems?
Will you be
My secret alibi
Angel of my nights
Can we do it right?
Lets just try each
Others loce so sweet
Till we cant deny
My secret alibi
Ding by ding can you
Dig my dong
It may come short
But it might come long
Limb by limb youre
Climbing up my tree
Making things more
Fun for me
So many stories have
Been told
I give a damn,
Theyre just too old
How often will we face
The end of our dreams?
When will I see it
All come true?
A splendid time
For me and you
Can we expect it being
Nice as it seems?
Will you be
My secret alibi
Angel of my nights
Can we do it right?
Lets just try each
Others loce so sweet
Till we cant deny
My secret alibi
Will you be

Can we do it right?
Lets just try each
Others love so sweet
Till we cant deny

Videotaped and Seen
Why do those caught in the telling,
Of outrageous lies...
Still try to protect themselves,
By the telling of bigger lies?
The jaw dropping creative kind.
And then...
Deceive others by belittling a friend,
To include in this charade.
By announcing themselves innocent,
And a victim of misdeeds that 'friend' had made.
People today can be videotaped AND fingerprinted.
And seen in action in pictures taken...
To contradict their fables told over and over!
And still they will declare themselves,
Free of any involvement or acknowledgement...
Or what had provoked them to the telling,
Of someone...
With no reason at all,
Had chosen them to unleash an anger!

Truth Will Provide An Undoing With Proof
One accused and abused by false allegations made...
Can not today walk away from them,
Without suspicion of admitting guilt.
Or believe from an evil one can leave unscathed.
And if one fights those accusing...
Who have defamed with a character assassination,
It is thought one seeks an attention to be given...
To protect an integrity one hopes doesn't fade.
What is the best thing that one should do?
Stand aside to witness what God does and proves,
To bring torment to those of evil minds...
With a doing that confines them to grief everytime.
What is the best thing that one should do?
Keep faith and remain on the side of truth.
With an acknowledgement one day,
Truth will provide an undoing with proof.

Dont Ask A Friend
(olivia newton-john)
You say you want to know most everything about him
But babe, what youre saying is that you dont want to doubt him
If I told you all the truth you wouldnt want to see him anymore
But Im his friend as well and theres no way I can tell
Tales that will make you unsure
Dont ask a friend; dont make me tell a lie
Dont ask a friend to be your alibi
You know that I would like to help you patch it up again
Im your lonely hearts club friend
Dont ask a friend
Ive known him for so long to me hes like a brother
And if I needed help will I know thered be no other
But youre as close to me as any friend that I have ever known
Im caught up in between his devil and your dream
Please make your choice on your own
Dont ask a friend; dont make me tell a lie
Dont ask a friend to be your alibi
You know that I would like to help you patch it up again
Im your lonely hearts club friend
Dont ask a friend

What About You?
He does what he does
And in doing so...
He does it well!
She too does what she does.
And it's the way she does it...
As if nothing else matters!
And it shows in what she does!
They do it...
And without announcements,
What they do is pursued.
And what is accomplished...
Others see what can be done.
All are in their element!
Discovering something done
To bring the contentment.
They are not bothered by those like you
who find what is done
To be critically abused!
What about you?
What do you do?
Besides find fault with others,
As you drift from excuse to excuse!

Alibi
Comunque non questo
il modo di fare
disse il commerciante
all'uomo del pane
domani sar festa
in questo stupido paese
ma non per noi che stiamo a lavorare.
L'uomo del pane
fece finta di niente
se ne and tranquillamente
aveva tante tante, tante cose da fare
che lui non ci poteva fare niente.
A questo punto la signora disse
"per favore, son qui da un quarto d'ora
e lei mi deve ancora servire"
"la prego signora mi scusi
che cosa vuole..."
"vorrei un'etto e mezzo di prosciutto
e un po' di cipolline, ancora cipolline"
"va bene gliele incarto
cos fanno 60.000 tonde
mi scusi non ho il resto
le do anche 400 caramelle "
"in cartone?!?"
"no!....sciolte...."
Fu proprio in quell'istante
che la porta si apr
entr un uomo col vestito nero e disse:
"tutti a terra faccia contro il muro
questa una rapina per davvero"
la donna fece un urlo acuto
e dopo svenne in mezzo a tutte le sue caramelle
e poi le cadde addosso lo scaffale
dei regali di Natale...
...ale...male...ale...male
nessuno fuori si accorse di niente
la polizia arriv dopo la gente
e fece un sacco di domande
e prese anche le impronte
poi disse al commerciante
lei deve sporgere denuncia
per adesso contro ignoti
ma vedr che saran pochi
non si deve preoccupare
lei ci faccia lavorare
noi sappiamo come fare
deve solo collabbborare.
Lo portarono in questura
e lo fecero sedere
uscir tra qualche mese
dice devono accertare
controllare, veriffficare
analizzare
eventuali connivenze
coincidenze

North Atlantic Drift
Meanwhile Rome burns
Meanwhile Rome burns
Its a cultural shift its the North Atlantic Drift
Americana and a rule Britannia
And the moon yes we own that to
And where the Euphrates meets the other rivers
Is now the home of the devil and the liar
And the pyre we plan to make
Is just the drift leaving its wake, home
Meanwhile Rome burns
Meanwhile Rome burns
And the films you want to watch
And the films you want to make
And the kids like lost angels
Dressed in black sensations
And the shift won? shake
And the drift won? brake
With billions of Diamonds growing like olives
And the drift holds the coffers
Meanwhile Rome burns
Meanwhile Rome burns
Meanwhile Rome burns
Meanwhile Rome burns
Meanwhile Rome burns
Meanwhile Rome burns
Meanwhile Rome burns

Gypsey Eyes
It was the eyes that drew me in
Slinking 'round in every direction
Dark as the deepest midnight
Shifting by self-imposed selection
It was the bracelets and eyes together
Clanking bangles and dark brown surprise
Feather boa's and eyes that offerd no alibi's
Dangling rings from the ears of the skies
It was the seduction of one
By a vagabond thief in disguise
She was all: feathers, bangles and fluff
With the most incredible Gypsey Eyes

Intro
Sunrise, sunrise
Looks like mornin' in your eyes
But the clocks held 9:15 for hours
Sunrise, sunrise
Couldn't tempt us if it tried
'Cause the afternoon's already come and gone
And I said hoo...
To you
Surprise, surprise
Couldn't find it in your eyes
But I'm sure it's written all over my face
Surprise, surprise
There was something I could hide
When I see we made it through another day
And I said hoo...
To you
Now good night
Throw its cover down
On me again
Ooh and if I'm right
It's the only way
To bring me back
Hoo...
