Patriot
Well I go into town at night
To see the colours and the sights
Then I'll come home
I'll think up a story to tell to you
Exaggerate the details once I've thought them through
And then lie alone
Because I can't make up my mind
I want to move on not fall behind
I want to make it through to you
That's all I really want to do
But I am a patriot
I am a liar
I am an Irishman
We're all stuck in time
And if I tell you my truth
Will you look in my eyes
Just tell me what you want me to say
I tried to keep it down before
But it gets out of my fingers toes
And in other ways
As I go spilling words and sentences
I thought would never cross my lips
In a drunken haze
It's cos I can't make up my mind
I've tried to move on but I fall behind
Oh and I want to make it through to you
That's all I really want to do
But I am a patriot
I am a liar
I am an Irishman
We're all stuck in time
And if I tell you my stories
Promise you'll laugh every time
Or else just tell me what you want me to say
To say
Can you tell me what you want me to say
To say
I am a patriot
And I am a liar
I am an Irishman
I think we're all a bit stuck in time
Because I want to tell you my secrets
I want to look in your eyes
So just tell me what you want me to say
To see the colours and the sights
Then I'll come home
I'll think up a story to tell to you
Exaggerate the details once I've thought them through
And then lie alone
Because I can't make up my mind
I want to move on not fall behind
I want to make it through to you
That's all I really want to do
But I am a patriot
I am a liar
I am an Irishman
We're all stuck in time
And if I tell you my truth
Will you look in my eyes
Just tell me what you want me to say
I tried to keep it down before
But it gets out of my fingers toes
And in other ways
As I go spilling words and sentences
I thought would never cross my lips
In a drunken haze
It's cos I can't make up my mind
I've tried to move on but I fall behind
Oh and I want to make it through to you
That's all I really want to do
But I am a patriot
I am a liar
I am an Irishman
We're all stuck in time
And if I tell you my stories
Promise you'll laugh every time
Or else just tell me what you want me to say
To say
Can you tell me what you want me to say
To say
I am a patriot
And I am a liar
I am an Irishman
I think we're all a bit stuck in time
Because I want to tell you my secrets
I want to look in your eyes
So just tell me what you want me to say
