Lie I Believe - The V-roys
Words and music by the V-roys
>From the album 'Just Add Ice' on E-squared records.
(This is Steve Earle's label, catalog # 1050-2)
This album was released in the fall of '96 and is an excellent
roots-rock type record, though one tune (Cry) sounds a bit like
early Police and others are reminiscent of, maybe, Cracker and
even Elvis Costello w/ the Attractions. However it gets binned,
this is great American rock and roll laced with country, very
well done, with loads of lyrical cleverness and passion but it
probably won't be played on American radio since it doesn't fit
snugly into a particular genre. Let's just call it V-roys music,
and f@!* the radio--buy the album!
Well I dial your number maybe 'third times a charm
And you make a pillow in the crook of his arm
When you put on your story I will sigh with relief
Whatever you say dear its a lie I believe
Our car windows are steamy like the blue in your eyes
And I stare at the moonlight shining down on your thighs
Why is love that is so pure got to be so na?ve?
I'll find that again dear its a lie I believe
But if you stand naked the mirror won't lie
But it has to be filtered through the wish of an eye
And all that I needed was your reflection of me
You said I was someone its a lie I believe
Instrumental break:
The first bar is a barre chord E minus bass notes, then slide
down to Eb and then D (I'm not sure here but it sounds okay)
before moving up to A for the second bar: play along and its
easy to mimic.

Soon the valley will ripen not long after the snow
New loves will find me when they're old they will go
But some love lasts forever that's why I grieve
Time heals all wounds is a lie I believe
But if you stand naked the mirror won't lie
But it has to be filtered through the wish of an eye
And all that I needed was your reflection of me
You said I was someone its a lie I believe
You said I was someone its a lie I believe
You said I was someone its a lie I believe
Big rousing finish:
