Thin Lizzy - Honesty Is No Excuse lyrics

Up till now I used to pa** 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
