Sad Songs Don't Lie. . I'd heard songs about broken hearts Lovers torn apart and feeling empty I didn't think they were true Until you left me, I found it hard to believe How grown men could cry Losing you has taught me Sad songs don't lie. , chorus My heart's singing to me It's a miserable melody And it's making me cry, When you said we're through That's when I knew Sad songs don't lie. . We had danced a thousand times To sombre rhymes when our love was strong I thought we'd dance forever But I was so wrong, Dancing slow holding you tight My devotion soared Never thinking those songs Would strike a chord.. . chorus . bridge I can't see my broken heart But there's no denying the proof Red eyes and tear stained cheeks Prove my heart is singing the truth, . chorus . ________________________________________ Strange The Way Things Change. . I saw the girl I used to love Strolling along the sea shore With her husband and two kids And a golden labrador, She didn't see me I was sitting in the shade My mind slipped back To when we had it made. . In a pokey flat with a mattress on the floor Over Mr Cohen's cheese and wine store We never had an angry exchange, Laughing and joking all the time Living on pizzas and dirt cheap wine Oh, It's strange the way things change. . I got a job at the sawmill Greasing machinery wheels She was checking houses for sale And the best mortgage deals, We bought the house That she'd set her heart on Had a picket fence And roses around the lawn. . In our castle in a real nice neighborhood We were king and queen and life was good Made pancakes on the iron range, But when the sawmill closed down Bills mounted up and bailffs came round Oh, it's strange the way things change. . Yes it's weird looking back on things That happened many years ago The bad times we go through Unveil more than we'll ever know. . After she walked on by with her family I folded my paper and finished my coffee Tipped the waitress all my loose change, We used to be heart to heart Now we're a million miles apart Oh, it's strange the way things change Oh, it's strange the way things change. _____________________________________
