[Intro: Spoken]
Damn flashbacks, man
[Verse 1]
My favourite thing abut telling a story is you can bollocks your way along
I start the first half of it a little white lie and then I just carry on
I like to blur the line between style and substance just to get my point across
I like to blur the line between truth and bollocks just to get my point across
[Chorus]
I'm like a tabloid newspaper
I'm like a preacher man
Devoid of integrity
I'm a liar
I'm a twister of the truth
I'm a twister of the truth
I'm a twister of the truth
I'm a twister of the truth
[Verse 2]
I'm very keen on the notion of falsity just to make it a better song
I love the idea of bending a tale just to make it a better one
We never really sat at the bar quoting Danny Dyer, drinking Stella Artois
Who do you think I am, do you think I'm an honest man? (No, I don't)
[Chorus]
I'm like a tabloid newspaper
I'm like a preacher man
Devoid of integrity
I'm a liar
I'm a twister of the truth
I'm a twister of the truth
I'm a twister of the truth
I'm a twister of the truth
[Bridge]
I was always told that the very best lyrics would come straight from the heart
I was always told that every lyric I wrote, it would tear me apart
I would have a notebook full of my deepest thoughts and I would sing them to a tune
So my iPhone's full of clever little lines, I sing them out of tune
I sing them out of tune
[Chorus]
I'm like a tabloid newspaper
I'm like a preacher man
Devoid of integrity
I'm a liar
I'm a twister of the truth
I'm a twister of the truth
I'm a twister of the truth
I'm a twister of the truth
