Sugarcoating The Truth by Tom Hannay

Here is an acoustic version of my song ‘Sugarcoating The Truth,’ recorded by the fireside while on the road in the Lake District.

I am a musician who is traveling around in my motorhome and playing music, trying to live his best life, simple as that.

To follow me on the road you can subscribe to my Youtube channel, or visit the blog on this site.

Lyrics:

You’ve been sugarcoating the truth too long

Painting pretty flowers on stone

I’d do good to sleep with one eye open

And a dagger at my side

But then again

With your bitumen grin

You just bat your eyes and suck me in

And the more I try to free myself

The deeper I sink into you

But you’re alone in your bed tonight

When once the love was real

And in exchange for the thin base delight

You gave away your right to appeal

Change that stake for a salad

Your hips are quite astute

But would that your mouth have the sense to follow suit

It’s plain to see that your dog’s had its day

But at your best you could have been a contender Charlie

But why try

When it’s easier to play the fool

But you’re alone in your bed tonight

When once the love was real

And in exchange for the thin base delight

You gave away your right

You threw away your right

You fucked away your right to appeal.
