Thin Lizzy Honesty Is No Excuse song lyrics

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 missy, a fork and knife

A happy home, a hand to hold, a land to roam

And honesty was my only excuse

I used to take life by the hand and I abused it

Up till now I used to tap dance

Take a girl by the hand

Saying I need your, I need your romance

Oh, I had me some chances

And honesty was my only excuse

I used to take your love and I 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
