I'm Gonna Tell (500 Lies)
(Original song: I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) by The Proclaimers)

When I stand up, yeah I know I’m gonna tell
I’m gonna tell the man who spins the news to you
For the cock-ups, yeah I know he’s gonna spin
He’s gonna spin out all the bullshit straight to you

If I’m caught out, yes I know I’m gonna blame
I’m gonna blame all my cronies, like you do
And if you ever, yeah try to go an’ blame me
I’m gonna be the man who’s coming after you

And I would lie 500 times
And I would lie 500 more
I will name the man who taxed 5000 times
And that’s the Scot next door

When I’m lying, yes it’s great cos you don’t see
You just don’t see that I’m too smart for all of you
And if you rumble, yes if you tumble to the truth
It’s much too late and there is nothing you can do

When I leave here, yeah I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who’s far away from you
I’ve been working, on my nest egg legacy
A legacy from selling all those gongs tax free

And I would lie 500 times
And I would lie 500 more
I will name the man who taxed 5000 times
And that’s the Scot next door

Lie-lie-lie (lie-lie-lie)
Lie-lie-lie (lie-lie-lie)
Lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie
Lie-lie-lie (lie-lie-lie)
Lie-lie-lie (lie-lie-lie)
Lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie

I’m not lonely, yes I know I’ve got a friend
I’ve got a friend who likes to play with nukes for fun
When I’m dreaming, yes I know it’s not a dream
Because George tells me that I am the chosen one

Yes you swallowed, all that WMD
But it wasn’t me who ever told a single lie
It’s Lord Levy, that’s why all of you believe me
Cos I’m just another ordinary guy

And I would lie 500 times
And I would lie 500 more
I will name the man who taxed 5000 times
And that’s the Scot next door
