Stiff Little Fingers – Be Seeing You

(Jake Burns/Steve Grantley)

Scams and lies and alibis

Are all your stock in trade

Spin me round, I’m upside down

And I don’t know the date

I feel outsmarted deceived and deluded

Completely inverted and unaware

Of all the changes and most of the dangers

Yet I’ve reached the stage where I just don’t care

Chorus:

I tried to believe in you

I was only deceived in you

So now I’ll be leaving you

I guess I’ll be seeing you

Subterfuge divide and rule

Are all your favorite games

Plans and ploys are basic toys

To realise your aims

I tried to hold on just try to hang on

Try to pretend we could get somewhere

But you’re so intent on some pointless diversion

We soon reached the point where I just don’t care

(Chorus)

Well, if it ain’t one thing

Then it’s another

First you cut me cold

Then you’re my long lost brother

But I know I can’t go on much longer

With the way things are

‘Cos I’m that much stronger!

(Chorus)
