Behind the house I lived in Blackburn south there was a huge paddock where we used to play cricket in the summer. Maybe just 5 or 6 kids. Day after day on the long summer of 1970 we'd be out banging the ball around. Until I heard this song a few minutes ago I had forgotten that for a short time I was mad about cricket. That uis until I joined a proper team and found out how bad i was and how how boring standing out in a filed for hours is. In the two games I did play I was never out though.
Anyway we'd take a transistor radio down to the paddock to listen to while we played. One day this came on. By now I was a Beatles fanatic and collector. Hearing this I thought it was some Beatles song i'd never heard before. then the announcer told us the backstory. Over the next few weeks it kept coming on. maybe it had been re-released to co-incide with the beatles break up. But it was magic. And it took me years to find a copy for myself. Their follow up single was pretty dynamite too!
Lies, lies, you're tellin' me that you'll be true
Lies, lies
That's all I ever hear from you
Tears, tears
I shed a million tears for you
Tears, tears
And now you're lovin' someone new
Someday I'm gonna be happy
But I don't know when just now
Lies, lie-ies
A-breakin' my heart
You think that you're such a smart girl
And I'll believe what you say
But who do you think you are, girl
To lead me on this way hey
Lies, lies
