HONESTY IS NO EXCUSE

	Up till now I used to pass my time
	drinking 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
	was 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
	
	Up till now my love-life
	a few sweet kisses
	a little missus
	a fork and knife
	a happy home
	a land to roam
	and honesty was my only excuse
	I took my life in my own hands and I abused it
	
	Up till now I used to tap dance
	take a girl by the hand
	saying I need your romance
	oh I had so many chances
	and honesty was my only excuse
	I took their love and abused it
	
	Up till now the path of life
	was fair enough
	enough was fair
	all was right
	but now I know, I see the light
	and honesty was my only excuse
