lyrics

Shelley

Shelley wasn’t there again today
So once again he didn’t get to say
“I’m sorry” but then just maybe
He wouldn’t anyway
Gathers all his hopes up off the floor
Underestimated how much more
She wanted and took for granted
She’d never choose the door

Would I lie to you?
Would I ever tell you less than half the truth?
Do you really think I could?
Well, yes … yes I guess you would

Sharing his own company again
Doesn’t make for scintillating
Conversation, a situation
That possibly explains
Why Robbie’s sitting outside in the rain
Staring at the window of the plain
White building where Shelley’s sleeping
Or should be anyway

Would I lie to you?
Would I ever tell you less than half the truth?
Do you really think I could?
Well, yes … yes I guess you

Would you ever accept part of the blame?
Would you ever expect me to do the same?

Shelley finds him snoring on the lawn
Running late for work but now she’s torn:
He’s stalking but maybe talking
Could still avoid a war
Leaves a scribbled note there on his chest
Hurries off and hopes it’s for the best:
“6:30 and this time I’ll be …
I promise I’ll be there”

Would I lie to you?
Would I ever tell you less than half the truth?
Do you really think I could?
Well, yes …
Would I lie to you?
Would I ever tell you less than half the truth?
Do you really think I could?
Well, yes …
Yes I guess you would
History says you should
So yes, I guess you ...
Shelley wasn’t there again
She wasn't there again
Shelley wasn't there again today …

Fergus Maximus Adelaide, Australia

Fergus Maximus is that guy with his headphones on long after the playlist has finished, completely oblivious because there’s always music in his head anyway. Ferg's unapologetic pop songs encompass all the important things: love, loss, mistakes, surprises and people’s astonishing capacity to miscommunicate. In these songs and stories you'll find some extraordinary snapshots from an ordinary life. ... more
