[00:04.30] Title:I WAS ONLY JOKING
[00:08.30] (R. Stewart / G. Grainger)
[00:18.78] Ever since I was a kid at school
[00:23.27] I messed around with all the rules
[00:27.56] Apologised then realised
[00:31.25] I'm not different after all
[00:37.24] Me and the boys thought we had it sussed
[00:40.93] Valentinos all of us
[00:45.72] My dad said we looked ridiculous
[00:49.20] But boy we broke some hearts
[00:55.19] In and out of jobs, running free
[00:59.29] Waging war with society
[01:03.08] Dumb blank faces stare back at me
[01:06.97] But nothing ever changed
[01:12.76] Promises made in the heat of the night
[01:16.15] Creeping home before it got too light
[01:20.54] I wasted all that precious time
[01:25.03] and blamed it on the wine
[01:29.40] I was only joking my dear
[01:34.01] Looking for a way to hide my fear
[01:38.50] What kind of fool was I
[01:42.68] I could never win
[01:51.30] Never found a compromise
[01:56.16] Collected lovers like butterflies
[01:59.95] Illusions of that grand first prize
[02:04.45] are slowly wearing thin
[02:08.83] Susy baby you were good to me
[02:12.73] Giving love unselfishly
[02:17.91] But you took it all too seriously
[02:22.40] I guess it had to end
[02:26.10] I was only joking my dear
[02:30.59] Looking for a way to hide my fear
[02:35.27] What kind of fool was I
[02:39.66] I could never win
[02:46.63]
[04:21.81] Now you ask me if I'm sincere
[04:26.51] That's the question that I always fear
[04:31.10] Verse seven is never clear
[04:34.59] But I'll tell you what you want to hear
[04:40.18] I try to give you all you want
[04:43.77] But giving love is not my strongest point
[04:48.87] If that's the case it's pointless going on
[04:52.76] I'd rather be alone
[04:58.14] 'Cause what I'm doing must be wrong
[05:02.74] Pouring my heart out in a song
[05:07.23] Owning up for prosperity
[05:11.42] For the whole damn world to see
[05:16.01] Quietly now while I turn a page
[05:19.90] Act one is over without costume change
[05:26.57] The principal would like to leave the stage
[05:32.76] The crowd don't understand
