Cat Stevens
A Bad Penny (Live in Japan, 1974)
[Verse 1]
Oh, don't say those same idle lies
I've heard them before
Oh-oh, this fool who, who left
Half his heart on an early train
Won't buy no more
[Verse 2]
Oh no, don't use those same weepin' eyes
I'll wipe them no more
Oh, I didn't want to have to be cruel
But the truth must be said
And you ain't heard enough
[Chorus]
Oh, it was not so long ago
Since you wandered out of here
To become a silver model
Of a city on the air
So don't choke me with your lies
Because this man has open eyes
And I can see
I can see
I can tell
Oh-oh, oh-oh
[Bridge]
I had it enough
All those sneaky bars and smart parties
I had it enough
All those sweet friends and lovers
I had it enough
All those lonely rooms and blank faces
I had it enough
And I want you, I want you no more
I want you, I want you no more, oh
[Verse 3]
Oh no, don't say those same idle lies
I've heard them before
Oh-oh, this fool who, who left
Half his heart on an early train
Won't buy no more
[Outro]
I'd like to thank you very much for coming tonight
Arigato, domo arigato
And uh
And uh, hm
Jim Creed is going to add a bit of electric guitar for our last song
