lyrics

Shades of Grey

Verse 1
There's a hundred different shades of grey
We find the truth where we may
And everybody lies, but not like you
Your tales just don't ring true

Bridge
I'm so tired of reading between your lines
Don't know why you can't just speak your mind
Just speak your mind

Chorus
Why I let you play me this way
I'll never know
I should let you go
But oh, the truth is lonely

Verse 2
I can see I'm just a fool to you
Putting up with al the things you do
But you should watch your step, you ain't no Johnny Depp
There's other fish and I could cast my net

Bridge
I'm so tired of reading between your lines
Don't know why you can't just speak your mind
Just speak your mind

Chorus
Why I let you play me this way
I'll never know
I should let you go
But oh, the truth is lonely

Verse 3
I suppose I ought to settle down
Some quiet chap, a little house in town
But I might miss the thrill of how your kisses chill
My blood and make my heart stop, still -


Bridge
I'm so tired of reading between your lines
Don't know why you can't just speak your mind
Just speak your mind

Chorus
Why I let you play me this way
I'll never know
I should let you go
But oh, the truth is lonely

Coda
Your words are lies, but your kisses taste like wine
So keep them coming, 'cause you make me feel so fine
And oh, the truth is lonely
I said the truth is lonely
Yes, the truth is lonely

about

DaylightSaving Canterbury, UK

Having been told they weren't 'pure jazz enough' by a UK radio station that shall remain nameless, Richard and Kate delight in describing themselves as 'mongrel dogs of jazz-pop fusion and proud of it'. That half of their songs sound more like contemporary folk than either pop or jazz is neither here nor there.
DaylightSaving's sound combines elements of jazz, pop, folk and Latin.
Formed Nov 2008
