In part 5, Celt mentioned something about unresolved anger issues...and that sort of got me thinking.....and well on the way to part 6....
DISCLAIMER - This song is not about any GN member, past or present......
Hypocrites
They smile in your face and sneer behind your back,
Stab you in the shoulder blades soon as it's turned,
They praise you and flatter you to curry favour,
But when you're in trouble, you'll find yourself spurned....
They act like you're friends when the weather's fair,
But if there's a storm, they won't be around,
If you need a hand they won't be there,
If you're in trouble they can't be found....
They are not to be trusted,
Not as far as you can throw,
They'll play your game while it suits them,
Then fade away like the springtime snow....
They hate your guts if you're not of their clique,
And you don't want to be part of that,
Your ship's coming in, they'll climb on board,
But if you're sinking they'll leave like rats....
Your gravy train's rolling, they'll be on that,
Soon as it stops they're off like a shot,
They're on your side as long as you're winning,
They're on your back as soon as you're not,
They are not to be trusted,
Not as far as you can throw,
They'll play your game while it suits them,
Then fade away like the springtime snow....
They'll ask you for favours without a qualm,
But wait until you need a favour back,
You won't see them for a cloud of dust,
They're far too busy making tracks...
They are hypocrites, they are hypocrites,
They are hypocrites, watch out, and don't turn your back....
They'll take everything you've got to give,
And keep on taking till there's nothing more,
Let you inside if it's advantageous,
If it isn't they'll show you the door...
They'll take from you till the cupboard's bare,
Then let you down without turning a hair,
No consciences to throw them a scare,
No sense of values they just don't care...
They are not to be trusted,
Not as far as you can throw,
They'll play your game while it suits them,
Then fade away like the springtime snow....
They are hypocrites, they are hypocrites,
They are hypocrites, how do you rationalise such hate?
How do you rationalise such hate?
How do you rationalise such hate.....
------------------------------------------
Whew! Feels good to get that off my chest once and for all....and I don't think there are now any issues left unresolved....well maybe one, but that's a whole different story....OH LORD, someone shut him up NOW, please!!!
Aaargh......!!!!!
:D :D :D

your a bloody show off Vic Lewis
AGHHHHH I just wish I could do what you have done this week every song you have posted is really worthy of recording and should be recorded for everyones' enjoyment ....
Well done Mr Lewis bravo , bravo
I really enjoyed this ,
They hate your guts if you're not of their clique,
And you don't want to be part of that,
Your ship's coming in, they'll climb on board,
But if you're sinking they'll leave like rats....
Your gravy train's rolling, they'll be on that,
Soon as it stops they're off like a shot,
They're on your side as long as you're winning,
They're on your back as soon as you're not,
so like the rats leaving in this piece I'll go
Hilch
Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
Vic,
Reminds me of one of my favorite Dylan songs
Positively 4th Street.
Then fade away lie the springtime snow....
Should that be "like the springtime snow..."
Which here in the Northeast U.S. fades very slowly
and stays too long and that gets really irritating making
you wish it would just go away.
Is that the imagery you were going for?
John
PS Glad I could be of some inspiration. (I think?) :lol:
next one, alright;)
been stumbling about the words at some places but taking a closer look I'm confident they fit/flow and aren't off.
I also like the part hilch mentioned, that was very creative I think :D
another part that stuck out for me was the chorus ("they are not to be trusted.."), great.
so vic, you've doen it again.
I'm waiting for pt.7 :wink:
cheers,
