Skunk Anansie
"Cheap Honesty"

I know too well,
I know these lines,
I've seen them smothered,
in sleek ridicule.

A seedy smile,
they think they've scored,
but I know morning comes
and babes alone again, too alone again

So what can I do,
with cheap honesty,
you're giving me more than I can see,
but I'm to cool to say,
that I want it all my way,
get blasted by this sincerity.

I wish I had,
the streets full view,
these people screaming,
through their settled loves.

So I pretend,
so mellowed out,
too teasing,
weak enough to long for,
home again, lovely home again
