These Things I Know Songtext
von Julian Cope

Tale man tell me the tale of your life
For I′m sure it is a good one
Tale man tell me the tale of your life
For I'm sure it is a good one
Tale man tell me the tale of your life
For I′m sure it is a good one
Tale man tell me the tale of your life
For I'm sure it is a good one

These things I Know
The father only loves his own
These things I Know
But the mother is a sweet thing
These things I Know
A granmother shows accommodation
These things I Know
But the God can only speaks to his own


Tale man tell me the tale of your life
For I'm sure it is a good one
Tale man tell me the tale of your life
For I′m sure it is a good one
Tale man tell me the tale of your life
For I′m sure it is a good one
Tale man tell me the tale of your life
For I'm sure it is a good one

These things I Know
Sometimes we must leave the city
These things I Know
Your verse may lie if your chorus is pretty
These things I know
Everyone believes the Wiki
These things I Know
The city smells but so does
The countryside

Words can be tricky
Some say peace but they mean submission
Truth can be sticky
It′s your truth, you're stuck with it
Wrongs cannot be righted
Without changing anothers′ traditions
They'll change their ways
But only if you resist their insistence


Tale man tell me the tale of your life
For I′m sure it is a good one
Tale man tell me the tale of your life
For I'm sure it is a good one
Tale man tell me the tale of your life
For I'm sure it is a good one
Tale man tell me the tale of your life
For I′m sure it is a good one

These things I know
A jealous God means a jealous priesthood
These things I know
When the visionaries′ lie assert itself
These things I know
A jealous priest is a deadly enemy
These things I know
A deadly enemy serves you better dead

Tale man tell me what's wrong with my life
Am I only here to question?
No, sir, you are undoubtedly here to cajole and make suggestion
With the weird light shining in your eye
Even hell would never see trough your disguise.
