about

Written by Jon after a chance remark by our daughter-in-law to her husband.

lyrics

You make me laugh, you make me cry with the tall tales you tell me
Created from inside your fertile mind
I don’t care if they’re true, it don’t matter if I love you
That you’re telling me these stories all the time

‘Cause I’m surfing on the ocean of your lies
Surfing on the ocean of your lies
Surfing on the ocean, surfing on the ocean of your lies

Now that you are older you oughta be more honest
But the lies you tell are spreading round the town
It shows a lack of respect, a lack of understanding
But I told myself it wouldn’t get me down

I’m just floating on the ocean of your lies…

You can’t tell the truth from fiction
You believe every word you say
It’s more than semantics or diction
It’s more than just a game you play

Things are getting serious, really quite injurious
It’s hard for me to stem the flowing tide
All your friends say that you oughta go and see a doctor
If you want to keep me here right by your side

Now I’m swimming in the ocean of your lies…

You can’t say I didn’t warn you, now your stories come to haunt you
And you’ve got to face the music on your own
I don’t think that I can care that you haven’t got me there
Now I’m miles away and living all alone

‘Cause I was drowning in the ocean of your lies…
