The lie
Now I know the lie
now I know the lie
now I know the lie

You keep me on the highway
I never get to come down
You really don't want me to make it
you really don't want me around

The lie,
Now I know the lie
now I know the lie
now I know the lie

Things just fall to pieces
While I sit and watch the door
I can never give to you
anymore and more and more

The lie,
How I know the lie
how I know the lie
how I know the lie

It's Christmas in the city
I have to go again and score
I will never want you
anymore and more and more

The lie,
That's how I know the lie
now I know the lie
now I know the lie

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
