[00:07.255]I mean it’s less like actually lying
[00:09.908][Right]
[00:11.413]It’s more like being select
[00:13.374][Yes]
[00:14.872]It’s all a matter of trying to protect the innocent, right?
[00:20.812][Right]
[00:22.039]It’s not as if you’re intending to make them out to be fools
[00:28.982]All I’m proposing is bending those tight parental rules
[00:36.732][And that’s a job which calls for special tools]
[00:43.479]You bend it, bend it
[00:46.461]Truth can take it
[00:47.725]Bend it, bend it
[00:49.687]Learn to fake it
[00:51.671]Don’t say I snogged my dishy coach
[00:57.295]Adopt a more discrete approach
[01:01.552]It’s all about the way you phrase it
[01:05.918]Don’t twist the truth just fail to raise it
[01:09.267]Think less in black and white
[01:12.015]And more in grey
[01:16.637]So keep a check on what you say
[01:19.927]And be prepared to meet halfway
[01:23.485]And if it’s deftly done then everyone stays friends
[01:31.609]When everything, everything bends
[01:38.782][Okay, it’s not a question of hiding /no/
[01:42.338]It’s how the facts are expressed. /right/
[01:45.697]So really what we’re deciding is what’s best for everyone, yes? /yes/}
[01:52.535]If certain facts are unspoken
[01:56.357][Then no one needs to invent]
[02:00.008]The rules ain’t there to be broken
[02:03.451][Just maybe slightly bent]
[02:07.283]The object is to throw them off the scent
[02:12.511]So what can we be less revealing
[02:16.661]Acquire the art of neat concealing
[02:20.192]Don’t say your tastes incline to men
[02:26.193]Say, ‘Have you met my flatmate Sven?’
[02:30.716]It’s not about misrepresenting
[02:34.399]It’s more a case of reinventing
[02:38.110]It’s not the hand you’re dealt
[02:41.257]It’s what you play
[02:45.382]If you can vet what you convey
[02:49.027]Then with a little luck you may by using make-believe
[02:55.295]Deceive, achieve your aims
[03:00.619]When everything, everything bends
[03:08.366]Trouble is they think we’re perfect
[03:11.849]Trouble is we so are not
[03:15.361]Trouble is they must know something
[03:18.935]Trouble is deciding what
[03:24.050]So bend it, bend it
[03:26.160]Keep them guessing
[03:28.019]A tiny lie can be oppressing
[03:31.379]But whatever one intends
[03:37.064]Remember everything and everyone bends
[03:44.082]Remember everything and everyone bends
