You Can't have The Truth by Oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

i got quite angry at auntie beeb over their over reaction to Mr Lineker's tweet and this came quite quickly as a result. Is a very rough and ready recording but....
It is what it is.

If I may be so bold
Can we let the truth be told
Even though
You don't want to hear it
Would you rather live a lie
Believe their pie in the sky
Swallow every line
They feed you
You can't have the truth
You'd rather be confused
You can't take it etc
You need someone to blame
And baby that's a shame
The messenger is
The fall guy
Presenting you the facts
Such a dastardly act
Well we can't be having that
No way
You can't have the truth
You'd rather be confused
You can't take it etc
If I may be so bold
Can we let the truth be told
Even though
You don't want to hear it

This could be an anthem for the reasonable ones left in Florida, USA.  Well stated. I really love that synth that drifts in and out, and your singing is stellar as always. I dig that aggressive snare as well.

Peace.

Cool, yeah these people only want to hear their own spin and think that's what we all think is right.
Love the tune too great stuff!!!

[Lurker]

You'd better watch out. They'll be coming to shut you up too.

Lovely atmospheric vibe. The synth glues it all together while helping to sell the lyrics.

'Loving it...you're on the money with those lyrics ...the synth works really well

A great think for yourself tune - Which is what we all should do!

Love it!

[StephenM]

generally I really like your tunes... quite alot... but this one is fantastic... aside from the difficult subject I love the soft synth...it really is stellar and reminds me of 10cc on one of my all time favorite pop tunes "I'm Not In Love." 
the dreamy guitar against the rest of the soft strings defies the subject matter almost as though to soothe the soul of the author as they deliver the message that might not be so popular...
I gotta rate this one toward the top of a very high ORH song pile, and let's face it, it is a big summit...

Thought provoking lyrics.
What is the truth these days?fu*ked if I know.
The world is one big orchestrated illusion.
Nice track james.
No we can't be having that,I love that line.
Full of Brawness
