Things Are Rarely Absolutely True

about

None of us is ever really lying, but none of it is absolutely true — could be a description for just about everything I've ever written.

lyrics

Well the thing is I don’t know dear
I’ve been sitting on the fence
I’ve been busy knowing nothing
And none of it has ever made much sense
Was a time I thought I had it made
You could say I had that point of view
None of us is ever really lying
But things are rarely absolutely true


Cos the truth is just a question
It’s been bent as far as it can go
And all the nonbelievers
They don’t want to know
And all of us are equally dismayed
We don’t have a common point of view
None of us is ever really lying
But things are rarely absolutely true

Someone take a photograph
We’ll try to look our best
And years from now we’ll look at it
And laugh at how we’re dressed
Time is just a passing of the days
It can often change your point of view
None of us is ever really lying
But things are rarely absolutely true

Because you know we never have it made
We only ever have a point of view
None of us is ever really lying
And things are rarely absolutely true
