Artist/Band: Ocean Colour Scene
Lyrics for Song: Alibis
Lyrics for Album: B-Sides: Seasides & Freerides [1997]



You told so many lies

Your tongue is black with fireflies

But you spit them out and pretend you're sneezing

And every word is such a joke

With so many pasts you'd be ninety years old

Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving



Hey, hey - what's that I heard you say

Don't think that I would never need it

Hey, hey - what's that I heard you say

Don't think that I would ever believe it



It's just a thought and nothing more

That all your thoughts and moves are taught

And memorised each night before your sleeping

And every word is such a joke

Strung from neon masts flying flags you hope

Will win you friends and give your life some meaning



(Repeat chorus)



You told so many lies

Your tongue is stained with alibis

You've been around the world and found it pleasing

And every word is such a joke

With so many pasts you'd be a hundred years old

Don't you wonder why the room keeps on leaving



(Repeat chorus)


Alibis

Alibis stands as a notable song in the extensive catalogue of Ocean Colour Scene, the English rock band renowned for defining the Britpop era. Released on the 1997 compilation B-Sides: Seasides & Freerides, the track exemplifies the group's signature melodic sensibility and guitar-driven sound. While often overshadowed by their major hit singles, this recording captures the band's ability to craft engaging, atmospheric music that resonates with fans of the genre. The song reflects the creative output of a period where the group was refining their identity beyond their debut success. As part of their broader discography, Alibis offers listeners a glimpse into the band's versatility and their consistent delivery of polished, radio-friendly rock anthems that have secured their place in British music history.
