Honesty Is No Excuse

Up till now I used to pass my time
 Drinking beer so slowly, sometimes wine
 No God, air, water or sunshine
 And honesty was my only excuse
 I took your love and I used it
 Up till now my youthful stage
 A useless rage, a torn out page, a worn out gauge
 A dirty shade, a big charade, a has been made
 And honesty was my only excuse
 I took your love and I used it
 I never, I never, I never
 Up till now my love life
 A few sweet kisses, a little missus, a fork and knife
 a happy home, a hand to hold, a land to roam
 And honesty was my only excuse
 I took my life in my own hands and I abused it
 Up till now I used to tap dance
 Take a girl by the hand saying I need your, I need your romance
 Oh I had so many chances
 And honesty was my only excuse
 I took your love and abused it
 Up till now the path of life was fair enough
 Enough was fair, all was right
 And now I know, I see the light
 And honesty was my only excuse
