Inside and Out

[Part I: Inside] [Verse 1] Seems they're letting him out next year He's behaving himself I hear Governor Conway says it will be fine Just as long as he can toe the line [Pre-Chorus] It's the same old story But it says here "Mum you're not to worry" 'Cause some you lose and some you lose [Verse 2] At the party, he was on his own All he did was say he'd take her home But it seems they didn't go straight there 'Twas on the porch, she told him, "Put your hand here" [Pre-Chorus] Yes, it's that same old story They told her mum she's not to worry If what she says is so We'll never let him go [Chorus] Never a word could be heard Not even the sound of a bird Singing it over again Telling a different story Never the same as before See the summer going out by the door And now that you've paid for those lies Get another disguise [Verse 3] It's twenty years now since our kid came free Oh, I remember August '53 But it wasn't quite like they said With that behind you, you can't plan ahead [Pre-Chorus] Yes, it's that same old story They say you're free, but don't worry What they said's not so They never let you go [Chorus] Never a word could be heard Not even the sound of a bird Singing it over again Telling a different story Never the same as before See the summer going out by the door And now that you've paid for those lies Get another disguise [Part II: Out] [Instrumental]
