Oh Phoney
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
May this lovely letter
Reach its destination
If only
Question one is why do you
Pretend that you like me?
Oh, phoney
See how the outside
Contradicts what's inside
Oooooh ooh
Who can make hitler
Seem like a bus conductor?
You do, oh phoney you do
You sing a lovely song to a scale
And the words spell out my name
Oh phoney
But then you kick me down below
Cause you know it won't show
How could you?
See how the outside
Contradicts what's inside
Oooooh ooh
Who can make hitler
Seem like a bus conductor?
You do, oh, phoney, oh, phoney, you do
You do, oh, phoney, oh, phoney, you do
You do, oh, phoney, oh, phoney,, you do
