howard goodall - bend it lyrics

[joe]
i mean it’s less like actually lying–
[jess]
right…
[joe]
it’s more like being select
[jess]
yes
[joe]
it’s all a matter of trying to protect the innocent… right?
[jess]
right

[joe]
it’s not as if you’re intending
to make them out to be fools
all i’m proposing is bending
those tight parental rules
[jess]
and that’s a job which calls for special tools…

[jess/joe]
you bend it, bend it
truth can take it!
bend it, bend it
learn to fake it!

[joe]
don’t say, “i snogged my dishy coach!”
adopt a more discreet approach
it’s all about the way you phrase it
don’t twist the truth, just fail to raise it
think less in black and white and more in grey
so keep a check on what you say
and be prepared to meet halfway
and if it’s deftly done
then everyone stays friends
when everything, everything bends

[jess]
ok, it’s not a question of hiding–
[joe]
no…
[jess]
it’s how the facts are expressed
[joe]
right
[jess]
so really, what we’re deciding is what’s best for everyone… yes?
[joe]
yes
if certain facts are unspoken
[jess]
then no one needs to invent
[joe]
the rules ain’t there to be broken
[jess]
just maybe slightly bent
[joe]
the object is to throw them off them the scent

[jess/joe]
so walk and [?] less revealing
apply the art of neat concealing
[jess]
don’t say your tastes incline to men
say, “have you met my flatmate, sven?”
[jess/joe]
it’s not about misrepresenting
it’s more a case of reinventing
it’s not the hand you’re dealt
it’s what you play
if you can bet what you convey
with a little luck
you may, by using make-believe
[jess]
deceive!
[joe]
achieve your aim
[jess/joe]
when everything, everything bends

[jess/joe/ensemble]
trouble is, they think we’re perfect
trouble is, we so are not!
trouble is, they must have something
trouble is… deciding what!
so bend it, bend it
keep them guessing!
a tiny lie can be a blessing
but whatever one intends
remember: everything and everyone bends!

[jess/joe]
remember: everything and everyone bends!
