Every word I ever said
Was a lie
I try my best to sing it
Sing it like it's true
Ain't it funny how people
Believe what you sing
But I try
My best to lie
Every word I ever said
Was a lie
I try my best to sing it
Sing it like it's true
Ain't it funny how people
Believe what you sing
and I try
My best to lie
Every word I ever said
Was a lie
I try my best to sing it
Sing it like it's true
and Ain't it funny how people
Believe what you sing
but I try
My best to lie
Every word I ever said
Was a lie
I try my best to sing it
Sing it like it's true
and Ain't it funny how people
Believe what you sing
But I try
My best to lie

We miss our old hen. This is an excellent henny song that I haven't heard in a while - great choice, James!
I dig the Juno/orh treatment on (the drums at the beginning brought 'Blue Monday' to my mind for some odd reason). And the Juno is nice-n-icy, as we like it. Great tribute to a great Songcrafter.

Hey ho! Wonderful, like Mercury Rev! Love it.
Ain't it funny how when someone covers one of your own songs, it always sounds like a 'real' song?
Excellent Jim!!

Remember the original very well with that wonderful full retro organ sound
Great tribute this Jim, particularly like that driving deep bass which sits nice and prominent in the mix, with those Juno keys floating over the top.
Big vocal too, lots of variation in the delivery and the last part in particular is a real nod to the original.
Great stuff, I love Tributes Fests!

This is brilliant,the thing I love about the tribute fest is that people that came into the site later than others are suddenly discovering great tunes that they previously missed by listening to the new versions and then following the links to the original.
A great version of a great song.
Magic.
