A BAD PENNY

Cat Stevens

Album : Unknown, 2008

Oh dont say those same idle lies
Ive heard them before
This fool who left his heart on an early train
Wont buy no more

Oh no dont use
those same weeping  eyes
Ill wipe them no more
I didnt want to have to be cruel
But the truth must be said
And you aint heard enough

Oh it was not so long ago
Since you wandered out of here
To become a silver model
Of a city on the air
So dont choke me with your lies
Because this man has open eyes

And I can see
I can see I can tell

I had it enough
All those sneaky bars and smart parties
Had enough
All those sweet friends and lovers
Ive Ive had enough
All those lonely rooms
And blank faces
Had enough
And I want you I want you no more
I want you I want you no more

Oh dont say those same idle lies
Ive heard them before
This fool who left his heart on an early train
Wont buy no more
