gaelic storm – don’t let the truth get in the way (of a good story) lyrics
on a steamer bound for baltimore
i said that’s no fun, i’ve been there before
so i jumped ship in singapore
with a cook from mexico
got a bowl of shark-fin soup,
ducked into a bar for a couple a scoops
played some texas-stud with a circus troop
and they cleaned me out of dough
at dawn they all went back to bed,
i went to borneo instead,
had a hair-of-the dog for my shrunken head,
with the sultan of brunei
had a small bit of a seizure
on the way to micronesia
got a bad case of amnesia
and forgot to say goodbye
don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story
no harm no foul no crime
don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story
it’ll get ’em every time.
stopped in tajikistan on the way to iran,
took a break in jamaica to work on my tan,
swam from cayo fragoso to carriacou
i climbed machu pichu in darkest peru
had a pint with the pope and played pool with the queen
she’s good with a stick if you know what i mean
i once had a job riding bulls in montana
i taught jimi hendrix the star-spangled banner,
i’ve been to morocco, malawi, macau
i know how to fly, but i won’t tell you how
don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story
no harm no foul no crime
don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story
it’ll get ’em every time.
bought an ice cold coca-cola
from a congolese high-rollah
got deported from angola
to a castle on the rhine.
ask anyone that knew me,
the emir of bahrain sued me,
i was in a blockbuster movie
and i didn’t make a dime
don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story
no harm no foul no crime
don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story
it’ll get ’em every time
