Lyric I Bought Myself A Liarbird

I bought myself a liarbird
He came with free drinks just to blur
The lies falling out like rain
On an average English summer s afternoon

I bought myself a new notebook
Sharpened my guitar and went to look
If this biz was just as bongo as the liarbird made out

All he would say
Is ``I can make you famous
All he would say
All he would say
``Just like a household name is
All he would say

Methinks world is for you
Made of what you believe
If it s false or if it s true
You can read it in your bible
Or on the back of this record sleeve

I bought myself a liarbird
Things got more and more absurd
It changed to a cuckoo
And expanded filling up with all I gave

I bought myself a big mistake
He grew too greedy, bough will break
And then we will find that liarbirds
Are really flightless on their own

All he would say
Is ``I can make you famous
All he would say
All he would say
``Just like a household name is
All he would say

Methinks world is for you
There s no handing it back
If it s false or it s true
You can read it in your prayer book
Or on the side of a cornflake pack

I gave away a liarbird
A couple less drinks and now I ve heard
The truth shining out like sun
On an average English winter s afternoon
