Lyrics John Martyn

John Martyn

Glorious Fool

Out of the west came a glorious fool

He tried to impress me with furious cool

He lied but inside

I knew just what he was trying.

He lied to his mother

And lied to the rest

He lied to his brother

Who loved him the best

He lied to himself

I believe that he lied to my children.

They say that half the lies he tells you are not true

They say that half the lies he tells you are not true

Half the lies he tells you are not true

You know that half the lies he tells you are not true.

You've come the white house

You walked through the white door

And come to the white building

Sleep on the white house floor.

You've come to the wrong people

Come to the wrong floor, yeah

Knocked on the wrong window

Come through the wrong door, he.

Watching a person

Watching him leave

Watching a Christian

Watching a thief

You can watch what you want, when you will

But you can't watch a liar.

Even lied to your children.

They say that half the lies he tells you are not true

They say that half the lies he tells you are not true

They say that half the lies he tells you are not true

at all

They say that half the lies he tells you are not true.

Out of the west came this pure fool

He tried to impress me with his cool

He lied to his heart

But I knew just what he was trying.

Well he lied to his mother

He lied to the rest

He lied to the people

Who loved him the best

I believe he lied to his children.

They say that half the lies he tells you are not true

They say that half the lies he tells you are not true

Half the lies he tells you are not true

Half the lies he tells you are not true.

You've come to the white house

You've come to the white door

You walked through the white building

You might sleep on the white house floor.

You've come to the wrong building

And the wrong door, yeah

You promised me the wrong people

Come to the wrong partner.

They say that half the lies he tells you are not true.

Half the lies he tells you are not true

They say that half the lies he tells you are not true

They say that half the lies he tells you are not true.

Believe me that, half the lies he tells you are not

true

Believe me that half the lies he tells you are not true

They say half the lies he tells you are not true

Half the lies he tells you are not true.
