Classics..with some angry subtext...
Liar - Rollins Band
You think youre going to live your life alone
In darkness and seclusion... yeah, I know
Youve been out there and tried to mix with those animals
And it just left you full of humiliated confusion
So you stagger back home and wait for nothing
But the solitary refinement of your room spits you back onto the streets
And now youre desperate and in need of human contact
And then you meet me and yur whole world changes
Because everything I say is everything youve ever wanted to hear
So you drop all you defenses, Im perfect in every way
cause I make you feel so strong and so powerfull inside
You feel so lucky
But your ego obscures reality that you never bothered to
Wonder why things are going so well
You want to know why?
cause Im a liar, yeah, Im a liar
Ill tear (rip) your mind up, Ill burn your soul
Ill turn you into me, Ill turn you into me
cause Im a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar...
Ill hide behind a smile and understanding eyes
And Ill tell you things that you already know so you can say:
I really identify with you, so much
And all the time that youre needing me is just the time
That Im bleeding you, dont you get it yet?
Ill come to you like an affliction then Ill leave you like an addiction
Youll never forget me... wou wanna know why?
I dont know why I feel the need to lie and cause you so much pain
Maybe its something inside, maybe its something I cant explain
cause all I do is mess you up and lie to you
Im a liar, ooh, Im a liar
But if youll give me another chance I swear Ill never lie to you again
cause now I see the destructive power of a lie,
Theyre stronger than truth
I cat believe I ever hurt you, I swear I will never lie to you again
Please, just give me more chance, Ill never lie to you again, no,
I swear, I will never tell a lie, I will neer tell a lie, no, no
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! sucker! sucker! sucker!
I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar
I lie you, I feel good, I am a liar, yeah
I lie x4 ooh, I lie, yeah, I lie
Im a liar, I lie, I like it, I feel good, I like it, and again
I like it again and Ill keep lying, Ill promise
In Love - Fear of Pop featuring William Shatner (..yes, Captain Kirk)
i remember the night we met. that night we sat entwined under summer skies. i looked into your eyes, and you looked into mine; you said, "you're not like the rest." and i nodded. "no one understands me," you said, and i nodded once again as if to agree that all men are indeed the same. somehow, you said, i was different.
for months on end, i maintained a veneer of sincere interest as if i was listening as you re-lived every page of self help and new age that you had read, and i went in for the kill! i'd read the same books, i learned to ape the motions of a sensitive human being, and we were oh so happy. but you found things to thick, and i knew it was time to move on.

so now you have me completely figured out! you feel sorry for me! i can't express my feelings! i can't tell the truth! we are all alike. at puberty i was sworn to secrecy by the international brotherhood of lying fickle males. i can't tell you anything, and i can't commit! you're right! i can't commit... to you!
i will always treasure our time together. i don't feel enough of anything to harbor the kind of disdain that you maintain. you painted me into what you wanted to see! and that's fine...
but you will never know me.
(In Love, In Love ...)
